Hi Jan, All,
sorry for late response, but it was quite a challenge for me to backport old 
polkit 0.116 from yocto 3.4 with mozjs dependency (it demands version 0.60 and 
in kirkstone the lowest is 0.78). More over i had to add fixes for 0.60 in 
order to compile it with python 3.10 (in later yocto it was 3.8). But 
fortunately I have succeded and I can confirm that our rules are working.

Now the biggest difference which I have noticed is that polkit recipe has 
switched from mozjs to duktape and I have no idea it if implies in any way. 
Also, I haven't checked the other versions between 0.116 and 0.119.

Hi Jan,
First thx for quick answer. I am currently out, but I will try to do all the 
test in the evening and get back to you with all the informations.

Hello,

I'm not aware of anything apparent that should affect that. AFAIK mozjs changed 
IIRC twice between those versions and then there was a vulnerability mitigation.
Can you please provide outputs from journal?
Also, do you happen to have an option to downgrade to 0.118 or lower to 
determine the version to blame?

In case of further questions, don't hesitate to reach out to me.
Thanks.

Jan Rybar

Hi all,
I am facing an issue with polkit rules for pkexec. Currently when i try to run 
an application with pkexec command I'm facing an error:

Jun 07 09:46:06 eg pkexec[59699]: test: Error executing command as another 
user: Not authorized [USER=root] [TTY=/dev/pts/0] [CWD=/home/root] 
[COMMAND=/usr/sbin/nft]

the rule for this to be run, looks like this:

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
    user_app = [
    '/bin/chmod',
    '/bin/chown',
    '/bin/rm',
    '/sbin/ifconfig',
    '/sbin/route',
    '/usr/sbin/update-ca-certificates',
    '/usr/bin/hostnamectl',
    '/usr/bin/iotedge',
    '/usr/bin/swupdate',
    '/usr/bin/timedatectl',
    '/usr/sbin/dmidecode',
    '/usr/sbin/eg_reboot',
    '/usr/sbin/factory_reset',
    '/usr/sbin/grub_console',
    '/usr/sbin/nft',
    '/usr/sbin/read_admin_keys',
    '/usr/sbin/useradd',
    '/usr/sbin/userdel'
];
    if (action.id<http://action.id> == "org.freedesktop.policykit.exec" && 
subject.user == "tes" && user_app.includes(action.lookup("program"))) {
        return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});

and is stored in /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/30-sbin-test.rules. This was all working 
before, with polkit 0.116, but now we have switched to newer yocto 4.0 and 
there is polkit 0.119, with which it stopped working for us. Does something has 
changed in the polkitd service and I'm missing it?
