CVE-2026-4897 Média · 5.5 CWE-770 26/03/2026

Polkit: polkit: denial of service via unbounded input processing through standard input

A flaw was found in polkit. A local user can exploit this by providing a specially crafted, excessively long input to the `polkit-agent-helper-1` setuid binary via standard input (stdin). This unbounded input can lead to an out-of-memory (OOM) condition, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the system.
