Comment 1 Ian McInerney 2025-06-30 08:18:04 UTC

This doesn't affect any Fedora builds of this package. The CVE is specific to the Debian packaging, because they are patching the polkit policy being generated to replace the auth_admin with auth_self in their own packaging https://salsa.debian.org/debian/zulucrypt/-/blob/9d661c9f384c4d889d3387944e14ac70cfb9684b/debian/patches/fix_zulupolkit_policy.patch. Fedora does not do that, so we keep the auth_admin policy.
