Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2013.0293
Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2013-0293)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'hplip, polkit, rtkit, spice-gtk, systemd' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2013-0293 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'hplip, polkit, rtkit, spice-gtk, systemd' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2013-0293 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: A race condition was found in the way the PolicyKit pkcheck utility checked process authorization when the process was specified by its process ID via the --process option. A local user could use this flaw to bypass intended PolicyKit authorizations and escalate their privileges (CVE-2013-4288). Note: Applications that invoke pkcheck with the --process option need to be modified to use the pid,pid-start-time,uid argument for that option, to allow pkcheck to check process authorization correctly. Because of the change in the PolicyKit API, the spice-gtk (CVE-2013-4324), hplip (CVE-2013-4325), rtkit (CVE-2013-4326), and systemd (CVE-2013-4327) packages have been updated to use a different API that is not affected by this PolicyKit vulnerability. The libvirt package will also be updated for the same reason, but this update will come in a separate advisory. Affected Software/OS: 'hplip, polkit, rtkit, spice-gtk, systemd' package(s) on Mageia 2, Mageia 3. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.2 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
