Merge request: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/polkit/polkit/-/merge_requests/140 We discovered a race condition in the handling of runaway script which is not triggered very often but causes a failure when it occurs. The root cause is the lack of mutex lock/unlock protection around a section of code that updates the condition variable and calls the pthread_cond_signal() variable. Let me know if you have any questions. Kind regards, Laurent.
