漏洞描述
近日，国外安全团队发布安全公告称，在 polkit 的 pkexec 程序中发现了一个本地权限提升漏洞。pkexec 应用程序是一个 setuid 工具，旨在允许非特权用户根据预定义的策略以特权用户身份运行命令。由于当前版本的 pkexec 无法正确处理调用参数计数，并最终会尝试将环境变量作为命令执行。攻击者可以通过控制环境变量，从而诱导 pkexec 执行任意代码。利用成功后，可导致非特权用户获得管理员权限。CVE-2021-4034
polkit 的 pkexec 存在本地权限提升漏洞，已获得普通权限的攻击者可通过此漏洞获取root权限。
目前漏洞POC已被泄露，攻击者利用该漏洞可导致恶意用户权限提升等危害
该漏洞CVSS评分：7.8
危害等级：高危
【受影响版本】
由于为系统预装工具，目前主流Linux版本均受影响
