CVE-2025-7519

polkit is a toolkit for defining and handling authorizations. It is used for allowing unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes.

Security Fix(es):

A flaw was found in polkit. When processing an XML policy with 32 or more nested elements in depth, an out-of-bounds write can be triggered. This issue can lead to a crash or other unexpected behavior, and arbitrary code execution is not discarded. To exploit this flaw, a high-privilege account is needed as it's required to place the malicious policy file properly.(CVE-2025-7519)

It was discovered that polkit incorrectly handled nested elements in XML policy files. If an administrator were tricked into installing a malicious policy file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause polkit to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2025-7519)

Pavel Kohout discovered that the polkit polkit-agent-helper-1 utility incorrectly handled long input. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to cause polkit to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-4897)
