CVE-2021-4034 (pwnkit) for CentOS 7

Post by gorsargsyan » 2022/03/07 12:26:32

I am tried to solve the vulnerability issue by using this article but it did not help. (Centos 7, kernel: 3.10.0-1160.31.1.el7.x86_64 )
https://access.redhat.com/security/vuln ... B-2022-001

Are there any updates for OS or instructions for solving this CVE?

Run [rr]rpm -q polkit[/tt] and see what version you have installed. The fixed version is polkit-0.112-26.el7_9.1.x86_64 and if that is not installed then run yum update to get it. Given your current kernel version is quite old, I suspect you would benefit from running yum update in any case.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
