[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#644500: policykit-1 local root exploit CVE-2011-1485

[Thijs Kinkhorst]

Package: policykit-1
Version: 0.96-4
Severity: grave
Tags: security patch

Hi,

A local root exploit in Policykit has been published a while ago. I has
been resolved in unstable/testing already, but squeeze is still affected.
Please see:

http://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2011-1485
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692922

Can you please see if updated packages can be built for stable-security?
The process is detailed here:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#bug-security
Also let us know if you're not available for this.


thanks,
Thijs
