[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#510646: system.d/...PolicyKit.conf needs alterations for new D-Bus

[Simon McVittie]

Package: policykit
Version: 0.9-1
Severity: serious
Justification: blocker for #503532 (CVE-2008-4311)
Tags: patch
User: pkg-utopia-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: CVE-2008-4311

PolicyKit installs a D-Bus system policy file which doesn't allow
any methods to be called. Method calls used to be allowed by
a dbus-daemon bug, but with the dbus-daemon changes targeted for lenny,
they will be denied.

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18948 is the upstream bug
and https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=20901 is a patch from
Tomas Hoger, reviewed and applied by David Zeuthen.

Regards from the Cambridge BSP,
