CVE-2015-4625

Publication date 26 October 2015

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

Integer overflow in the authentication_agent_new_cookie function in PolicyKit (aka polkit) before 0.113 allows local users to gain privileges by creating a large number of connections, which triggers the issuance of a duplicate cookie value.
