Change logs for policykit-1 source package in Lucid

  • policykit-1 (0.96-2ubuntu0.2) lucid-security; urgency=low
    
      * SECURITY UPDATE: use of pkcheck without specifying uid is racy,
        possibly leading to privilege escalation
        - debian/patches/CVE-2013-4288.patch: implement pid,start-time,uid
          syntax so callers have a non-racy way of using pkcheck.

  • policykit-1 (0.95-1) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * New upstream release.
      * Remove patches
        - debian/patches/02_dont_export_private_symbols.patch (merged upstream)
        - debian/patches/03_path_max.patch (merged upstream)
        - debian/patches/04-ref-authority.patch (merged upstream)
        - debian/patches/05-pkexec-env.patch (merged upstream)
        - debian/patches/99_autoreconf.patch (obsolete)
      * debian/control
        - Bump Build-Depends on libeggbus-1-dev to (>= 0.6).
      * debian/rules
        - The example application is no longer built by default so we don't need
          to manually remove it anymore.
      * debian/libpolkit-{backend,gobject}-1-0.symbols
        - Update for new API additions.
    
    policykit-1 (0.94-6) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * debian/policykit-1.postinst
        - Use start-stop-daemon instead of kill+pidof to stop the running polkitd
          daemon on upgrades.
      * Remove our workaround for kfreebsd again now that eglibc 2.10 has entered
        unstable. (Closes: #552605)

  • policykit-1 (0.94-5) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Add debian/patches/04-ref-authority.patch: Ref the instance returned by
        polkit_authority_get(), since the documentation says that it needs to be
        unref'ed after usage. This fixes crashes in NetworkManager and probably
        other programs, too. (LP: #438574, #432452, fd.o #24566)
      * Add debian/patches/05-pkexec-env.patch: Add missing comma so that pkexec
        saves both LANG and LANGUAGE, not LANGLANGUAGE. (Cherrypicked from trunk)
      * Add myself to Uploaders: with Michael's consent.
    
    policykit-1 (0.94-4) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * debian/patches/03_path_max.patch
        - Update patch to fix implicit pointer conversion for
          get_current_dir_name. (Closes: #550901)
    
    policykit-1 (0.94-3) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * debian/patches/03_path_max.patch
        - Fix FTBFS on hurd-i386 where PATH_MAX is not defined. (Closes:#550800)
          Thanks to Samuel Thibault for the patch.
      * debian/policykit-1.postinst:
        - Kill the old polkitd daemon on upgrade, to ensure that the new version
          will be used at the next occasion.
    
    policykit-1 (0.94-2) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Fix build failures on kfreebsd. Add Build-Depends on libfreebsd-dev and
        link against -lfreebsd for sysctlnametomib.
        When glibc 2.10 enters unstable this workaround can be removed again.

  • policykit-1 (0.94-1ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
    
      * fix network-manager crashes when opening connection editor
        with system connections; crahes turned out to be caused by
        freed policy kit authority - fix involves propery reffing
        authority in singleton accessor (LP: #438574, #432452)
        - See: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24566
        - add 03_0001-authority-g_object_ref-authority-when-returning-sing.patch
