  <background>
    <p>polkit is a toolkit for managing policies relating to unprivileged
      processes communicating with privileged processes.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>polkit has a race condition which potentially allows a process to change
      its UID/EUID via suid or pkexec before authentication is completed.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>A local attacker could start a suid or pkexec process through a
      polkit-enabled application, which could result in privilege escalation or
      bypass of polkit restrictions.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All polkit users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>

    </code>
    
    <p>All HPLIP users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
