Red Hat Polkit Out-of-Bounds Read and Write Vulnerability

A local attacker, with a low-privilege account, can achieve full data confidentiality loss, arbitrary modification of data, complete denial of service or system unavailability. Federal agencies are required to remediate by 2022-07-18 under CISA BOD 22-01.

This is a Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787) vulnerability in Red Hat Polkit. A local privilege escalation vulnerability was found on polkit's pkexec utility. The pkexec application is a setuid tool designed to allow unprivileged users to run commands as privileged users according predefined policies. The current version of pkexec doesn't handle the calling parameters count correctly and ends trying to execute environment variables as commands. An attacker can leverage this by crafting environment variables in such a way it'll induce pkexec to execute arbitrary code. When successfully executed the attack can cause a local privilege escalation given unprivileged users administrative rights on the target machine. Exploitation requires local access, low attack complexity, a low-privilege authenticated account, and no user interaction required.

Probably yes if any of these apply:
