policykit-1 122-3 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
policykit-1 (122-3) unstable; urgency=medium
* d/polkitd.postinst: Stop polkitd before changing home directory.
usermod will refuse to change the home directory if a polkitd process
is running as the polkitd uid, so stop polkitd if necessary, and also
don't fail if usermod can't change the home directory in an existing
installation (which is non-critical anyway). (Closes: #1030154)

- pkexec: run commands as another user with polkit authorization
polkit is an application-level toolkit for defining and handling the policy
that allows unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes.
It was previously named PolicyKit.
.
pkexec is a setuid program to allow certain users to run commands as
root or as a different user, similar to sudo. Unlike sudo, it carries
out authentication and authorization by sending a request to polkit,
so it uses desktop environments' familiar prompting mechanisms for
authentication and uses polkit policies for authorization decisions.
.
By default, members of the 'sudo' Unix group can use pkexec to run any
command after authenticating. The authorization rules can be changed by
the local system administrator.
.
If this functionality is not required, removing the pkexec package will
reduce security risk by removing a setuid program.
- pkexec-dbgsym: debug symbols for pkexec
- policykit-1: transitional package for polkitd and pkexec
polkit is an application-level toolkit for defining and handling the policy
that allows unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes.
It was previously named PolicyKit.
.
This transitional package depends on polkitd, the system service used by
polkit, and pkexec, a setuid program analogous to sudo. They were
historically packaged together, but have been separated so that users of
polkitd are not required to install pkexec.
- policykit-1-doc: documentation for PolicyKit-1
PolicyKit is a toolkit for defining and handling the policy that
allows unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes.
.
This package contains the API documentation of PolicyKit.
- polkitd: framework for managing administrative policies and privileges
PolicyKit is an application-level toolkit for defining and handling the policy
that allows unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes.
.
It is a framework for centralizing the decision making process with respect to
granting access to privileged operations for unprivileged (desktop)
applications.
.
In a typical use of polkit, an unprivileged application such as gnome-disks
sends requests via D-Bus or other inter-process communication mechanisms
to a privileged system service such as udisks, which asks polkitd for
permission to process those requests. This allows the application to carry
out privileged tasks without making use of setuid, which avoids several
common sources of security vulnerabilities.
.
This package provides the polkitd D-Bus service and supporting programs.
The pkexec program is not included, and can be found in the pkexec package.
