Red Hat · Spice-Gtk · CVE-2013-4324
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
spice-gtk versions 0.14
spice-gtk-python versions 0.14
spice-glib versions 0.14
spice-glib-devel versions 0.14
spice-gtk-devel versions 0.14
spice-gtk-debuginfo versions 0.14
spice-gtk-tools versions 0.14
**Description**
The issue allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging a PolkitUnixProcess PolkitSubject race condition via a (1) setuid process or (2) pkexec process. This can lead to a violation of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The `polkit unix process new` API function is used insecurely, contributing to the vulnerability.
**Recommendations**
For spice-gtk version 0.14, consider disabling the `polkit unix process new` function until a patch is available.
For spice-gtk-python version 0.14, restrict access to the `polkit unix process new` function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
For spice-glib version 0.14, avoid using the `polkit unix process new` function in sensitive operations until the issue is resolved.
For spice-glib-devel version 0.14, consider applying configuration changes to limit the impact of the vulnerability.
For spice-gtk-devel version 0.14, restrict access to the vulnerable module to minimize the risk of exploitation.
For spice-gtk-debuginfo version 0.14, consider disabling the `polkit unix process new` function until a patch is available.
For spice-gtk-tools version 0.14, avoid using the `polkit unix process new` function in sensitive operations until the issue is resolved.
