medium Nessus Plugin ID 70115

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

It was found that RealtimeKit communicated with PolicyKit for authorization using a D-Bus API that is vulnerable to a race condition. This could have led to intended PolicyKit authorizations being bypassed. This update modifies RealtimeKit to communicate with PolicyKit via a different API that is not vulnerable to the race condition. (CVE-2013-4326)

Solution

Update the affected rtkit and / or rtkit-debuginfo packages.
