I guess polkit is the one that was abused, I am not surprised, that was
only a matter of time before someone find a way to abuse polkit. It is
why at the first place I don't want *kit in any of my systems.

Can you be specific about that exploit? Because for now, the only think
I can tell you is to remove polkit, and no one can figure out what's
going on.
