https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=825256 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=825256#c0 Summary: polkit-cant-acquire-privilege org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper.syspath (??:yes:yes) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 13.1 Milestone 1 Platform: All OS/Version: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Security AssignedTo: security-team@suse.de ReportedBy: tittiatcoke@gmail.com QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 With KDE 4.11 a new backlighthelper was introduced within the PowerDevil application. On some laptops it would now be possible to regulate the backlight of the laptop screen. However this new helper also caused an issue with the current polkit-defaults-privs, as that it is not listed. In the KDE:Distro:Factory repo we have resolved it temporarily by setting the error to a information in a rpmlintrc, but as indicated this needs to be pushed to Factory soon. The warning is: [ 1579s] kdebase4-workspace.x86_64: I: polkit-cant-acquire-privilege org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper.syspath (??:yes:yes) [ 1579s] Usability can be improved by allowing users to acquire privileges via [ 1579s] authentication. Use e.g. 'auth_admin' instead of 'no' and make sure to define [ 1579s] 'allow_any'. This is an issue only if the privilege is not listed in /etc [ 1579s] /polkit-default-privs.* The package itself can be found in KDE:Distro:Factory. As that this is blocking the submission to Factory, it has some urgency. Therefore I set it as a critical bug. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=825256 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=825256#c8 --- Comment #8 from Alexander Bergmann 2013-07-05 14:01:58 UTC --- The new action ID 'org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper.syspath' is simply just a read operation on the 'm_dirname' variable inside 'backlighthelper.cpp'. The variable 'm_dirname' holds the found device path in '/sys/class/backlight/' that can be read by an unprivileged user anyway. Therefore the temporary changes made to polkit-default-privs (comment 6) are okay from the security point of view and can be made permanently. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
