Please use the following update submission link to create the Bodhi request for this issue as it contains the top-level parent bug(s) as well as this tracking bug. This will ensure that all associated bugs get updated when new packages are pushed to stable. Please also ensure that the "Close bugs when update is stable" option remains checked. Bodhi update submission link: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/new/?type_=security&bugs=987561,987562 Actually, if you can use the following update submission link, it will note the fixed packages in the old bug as well: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/new/?type_=security&bugs=987561,987562,883162 This would be good as it will allow someone to see when the 2012 CVE was actually fixed, and in what package. Thanks. gksu-polkit-0.0.3-8.gitf8ce834c.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gksu-polkit-0.0.3-8.gitf8ce834c.fc18 gksu-polkit-0.0.3-8.gitf8ce834c.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gksu-polkit-0.0.3-8.gitf8ce834c.fc19 gksu-polkit-0.0.3-8.gitf8ce834c.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gksu-polkit-0.0.3-8.gitf8ce834c.fc17 Done, referenced all bugs. Funny thing, basically this package never worked since its first import. Dbus name was wrong, service file was installed with a wrong name, the patch for the CVE fix was creating a patch file instead of patching the code; the source tarball did not exist anywhere. This since Fedora 17. Package gksu-polkit-0.0.3-8.gitf8ce834c.fc18: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 18 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing gksu-polkit-0.0.3-8.gitf8ce834c.fc18' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-13616/gksu-polkit-0.0.3-8.gitf8ce834c.fc18 then log in and leave karma (feedback). Hi, I installed this under fc19. 1.) Will we also get this for fc19 soon? (since the package is declared fc18) 2.) While the privilegue escalation was fixed, gksu-polkit now hangs around *forever* even when the executed process is long dead and it doesn't respond to SIGTERM (I needed to kill it!) So while this is an improvement in security terms, processes hanging around forever isn't really nice. *** Bug 989157 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** gksu-polkit-0.0.3-8.gitf8ce834c.fc19 has been pushed to the Fedora 19 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. gksu-polkit-0.0.3-8.gitf8ce834c.fc18 has been pushed to the Fedora 18 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
