[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#766860: polkit-1: Read after free when duplicate rules exist

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: policykit-1
Version: 0.105-3
Severity: important
Forwarded: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83590

Hello,

When starting the daemon, I get the following message:

** (polkitd:21926): WARNING **: Unknown action_id '<random string>'

This is due to a read after free condition when a rule is being present
twice.

The solution seems quite trivial:

-        g_hash_table_insert (priv->parsed_actions, action->action_id,
  action);
+        g_hash_table_replace (priv->parsed_actions, action->action_id,
  action);


We maybe want to fix this before the jessie release

Cheers,

Laurent Bigonville
