Hi,
The following vulnerability was published for packagekit.
CVE-2024-0217[0]:
| A use-after-free flaw was found in PackageKitd. In some conditions,
| the order of cleanup mechanics for a transaction could be impacted.
| As a result, some memory access could occur on memory regions that
| were previously freed. Once freed, a memory region can be reused for
| other allocations and any previously stored data in this memory
| region is considered lost.
The only reference know so far is [1] which say as well that the issue
should be fixed in 1.2.7 upstream. Do you happen to know more on it?
If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

Please adjust the affected versions in the BTS as needed.

Hi!
Closing this bug, since even two years later we have no idea what this
issue was supposed to be about, and it confuses people who are looking
for the actual recent CVEs about PackageKit.
Sorry for all the noise!
Best,
Matthias
