--- Comment #4 from Bob Frazier <[email protected]> ---
A new vulnerability in polkit has been discovered on Linux

https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2021-3560

This discusses the details of it and steps to repro:

I have not tried to repro this with older versions of polkit yet (I have
0.114_2 installed on this system, for example) but it is probably worth
investigating before releasing an update of the port.

CVE-2021-3560 was apparently recently discovered and reported yesterday
