CVE-2018-1106
An authentication bypass flaw has been found in PackageKit before 1.1.10 that allows users without administrator privileges to install signed packages.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.38%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
An authentication bypass flaw has been found in PackageKit before 1.1.10 that allows users without administrator privileges to install signed packages. A local attacker can use this vulnerability to install vulnerable packages to further compromise a system.
