Hi,
Please, no systemd rants :)
This is a rather simple question (I hope). In LWN seems
there is a polkit vulnerability article and it contains
this link:
TinyURL: https://tinyurl.com/tnsve57u
OR
https://github.blog/2021-06-10-privilege-escalation-polkit-root-on-linux-with-bug/
I reading both LWN and the link, they seem to hint it only
happens with systemd. Is that correct ? Or it is general
to polkit ?
I would think all Linux Systems are vulnerable no matter
its init (assuming they use polkit).
Thanks
John
