OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Base:System/polkit?expand=0&rev=197
- Switch from mozjs to duktape:
* Add duktape-support.patch
Provides the same features as with mozjs, but is *much* smaller both during
build and runtime. Before, installing polkit needed 62.0 MiB, with this it's
just 16.3 MiB. (Tested in an opensuse/tumbleweed container).
I didn't encounter any errors while playing around with it in a Live CD.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/949263
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Base:System/polkit?expand=0&rev=168
* transition from Intltool to gettext
* several tarball, meson and pipeline fixups
* Portuguese translation
* Romanian translation
* meson build system added
* CVE-2021-3560 mitigation
* properties in text listener
* typos fixups
* Update Hungarian translation
- drop CVE-2021-3560.patch (upstream)
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Base:System/polkit?expand=0&rev=163
- Move /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-default.rules to
/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/50-default.rules. The first location
is only for admin changes.
- Fix verifyscript: the path to the binary was wrongly defined as
%{_libexecdir}/lib.
- CVE-2021-3560: fixed a local privilege escalation using polkit_system_bus_name_get_creds_sync()
(bsc#1186497)
CVE-2021-3560.patch
- Move /etc/dbus-1/system.d to /usr/share/dbus-1/system.d, the
first location is only for admin changes
- Move pam configuration to /usr/etc/pam.d
move to libexec dir is still not complete:
- add polkit-adjust-libexec-path.patch: There is another hard coded reference
of lib/ in the code that this patch addresses.
- also adjust invocation of %set_permissions and %verify_permissions to new
libexec dir location.
- also set libprivdir during build, otherwhise systemd and D-Bus service files
contain the wrong path and we'll get runtime errors.
- Install private binaries into libexec instead of into lib. For this an
override of the custom libprivdir variable is necessary, because upstream
explicitly moved away from libexecdir via upstram commit
6fbcc6cd839680fcefd81c4a43676e7c031c9859.
- Update to version 0.118:
+ Updated dependency to mozjs78.
+ Tarball fixes.
- Replace pkgconfig(mozjs-68) for pkgconfig(mozjs-78)
BuildRequires following upstreams port.
- Update to version 0.117:

+ Memory management fixes.
+ Updated translations.
- Replace pkgconfig(mozjs-60) for pkgconfig(mozjs-68)
BuildRequires following upstreams port.
- Fix usage of libexecdir instead of prefix/lib where applicable.
- polkit-keyinit.patch: add pam_keyinit to the polkit configuration (bsc#1144053)
- Update to version 0.116:

+ CVE-2019-6133 Slowfork vulnerability fix.
+ Allow unset process-uid.
+ Port the JS authority to mozjs-60.

- Replace pkgconfig(mozjs-52) with pkgconfig(mozjs-60)
BuildRequires following upstreams changes.
- Drop patches fixed upstream:
+ polkit-fix-possible-resource-leak.patch
+ polkit-fix-leaking-zombie-child-processes.patch
+ polkit-CVE-2018-19788.patch
- Refresh patches with quilt.
- Use systemd_ordering instead of systemd_requires: strictly
speaking, polkit does not require systemd to be present. Just
that when we install on a system with systemd (e.g outside
containers) we would want systemd to be present before
installing polkit. Help also reduce a cycle without special hacks
in systemd.spec.
- bsc#1130588: Require shadow instead of old pwdutils
- User proper Requires(pre)/Requires(post) for permissions and
shadow
- polkit-CVE-2018-19788.patch: Fixed handling of UIDs over MAX_UINT
(bsc#1118277 CVE-2018-19788)
- Add polkit-fix-possible-resource-leak.patch: Fix possible
resource leak found by static analyzer.

zombie not reaped when js spawned process timed out (fdo#106021).
- Update to version 0.115:
- Fix CVE-2018-1116: Trusting client-supplied UID (bsc#1099031)
- jsauthority: pass "%s" format string to remaining report function
(obsoletes polkit-jsauthority-pass-format-string.patch)
- Update to version 0.114:
+ Port to mozjs 52, the latest version of the firefox JavaScript
engine.
+ Add gettext support for policy files.
+ Fixes for various memory leaks.
+ Updated translations.
- Update keyring with Ray Strode <halfline@gmail.com> public key.

pkgconfig counterparts: pkgconfig(gio-unix-2.0),
pkgconfig(gmodule-2.0) and pkgconfig(gobject-introspection-1.0).
- Add polkit-jsauthority-pass-format-string.patch: jsauthority:
pass "%s" format string to remaining report function, patch from
upstream git, adding missed commit (bgo#105865).
- Drop polkit-revert-session-magic.patch: Upstream systemd bug is
since a long time fixed (gh#systemd#58) (boo#954139).
- pkexec.patch: pkexec: allow --version and --help even if not setuid
- Modernize spec-file by calling spec-cleaner
- Add polkit-itstools.patch: Add gettext support for .policy files.
- Use gettext as fallback to get potential distro translations for
polkit actions. Similar mechnism as used for desktop file
translations. That way it's possible to use weblate to add
additional translations that are not provided by upstream
(polkit-gettext.patch).
- Use pkgconfig() instead of requiring systemd package names directly.
- systemd.pc is shipped by systemd main package (bsc#983167)
Strangely polkit wants systemd.pc to detect that the target system
is running systemd even if its configured to build systemd support...
- polkit-revert-session-magic.patch: revert a session detection change
that could lead to sessions not being detected as active due to
a systemd bug. bsc#954139
- Update to 0.113:
* Fix CVE-2015-4625
* Fix CVE-2015-3256
* Fix CVE-2015-3255
* Fix CVE-2015-3218
* On systemd-213 and later, the “active” state is shared across
all sessions of an user, instead of being tracked separately
* pkexec: when not given a program to execute, runs the users’
shell by default
- Remove polkit-no-kded-leak.patch (upstreamed)
- Try to fix kded leaking due to powerdevil exposing this issue in
polkit: (bsc#912889)

- Added gpg signature and keyring with David Zeuthen and Miloslav Trmac
ids.
- Fixed URL
- Update to 0.112
+ polkitunixprocess: Deprecate racy APIs

(CVE-2013-4288)
+ Use GOnce for interface type registration
+ Add czech translation po file to distribution
+ Update the czech once more with newest pot file
- On openSUSE 13.1+, switch from mozjs185 to mozjs-17.0 by:
+ Conditionally BuildRequire pkgconfig(mozjs-17.0).
- Drop libmozjs185-1_0 Recommends: the library is actually required
and auto-detected as such by rpm (from 0.111 changes: "The
JavaScript interpreter is now mandatory").
- Update to 0.111
+ Both js185 and mozjs17 versions of SpiderMonkey are supported
+ The JavaScript interpreter is now mandatory
+ Fixed various memory leaks
+ Respect SUID_CFLAGS and SUID_LDFLAGS
+ Set process environment from pam_getenvlist()
+ Fix the build with automake 1.13
- Drop polkit-suid_flags.patch and automake-113.patch, those
patches are included in this release
- Add automake-113.patch, fixes build with automake-1.13

+ Include gmodule-2.0 to avoid linker errors
+ Don't require libmozjs185 devel packages for polkit rules
to work
- Drop polkit-link-gmodule.patch and polkit-libmozjs.patch, those
are merged upstream
- Only mark the following files as %config, not %config(noreplace):
+ %{_sysconfdir}/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.conf
+ %{_sysconfdir}/pam.d/polkit-1
+ %{_sysconfdir}/polkit-1/rules.d/50-default.rules
PolicyKit's own config files should only be changed for good reason
and we want to prefer openSUSE's defaults (you still get an .rpmsafe
file)
- Add polkit-libmozjs.patch: dlopen libmozjs185.so.1.0 instead of
libmozjs185.so, which is packaged in the -devel package
(bnc#793562)
- Update to version 0.108:
+ PolkitAgent: Avoid crashing if initializing the server object
fails
+ Fall back to authenticating as uid 0 if the list of admin
identities is empty
+ Dynamically load libmozjs185.so and cope with it not being
available
+ docs: mention the audience for authorization rules
+ build: Fix .gir generation for parallel make
- Only conditionally Require ConsoleKit when with_systemd is 0:
systemd support obsoletes ConsoleKit.
- Add polkit-link-gmodule.patch: Link against gmodule-2.0.
- Change libpolkit0 to require polkit >= %version instead of the
exact version. This will ease upgrade problems should there ever
be a soname bump of libpolkit0.
- Enable systemd inetegration (change with_systemd to 1): As an
agreed target for 12.3, systemd integration will be enabled.
- Add pwdutils to prereq for groupadd and useradd.
- Add polkit-no-systemd.patch: this patch, only applied when not
building systemd support, removes the systemd service reference
from the dbus .service file. This is needed as the systemd
.service file does not get installed in that case and dbus gets
confused because it expects it.
- Make %{_datadir}/polkit-1/rules.d and
%{_sysconfdir}/polkit-1/rules.d owned by user polkitd, as those
directories have 0700 as permissions.
- Those two changes should fix polkit so it can start.
Fix bnc#782395.
- Use %{_localstatedir}/lib/polkit for $HOME of polkit user,
instead of %{_libexecdir}/polkit-1. The directory is manually
created in %install.
- Update to version 0.107:
+ Try harder to look up the right localization
+ Introduce a polkit.Result enumeration for authorization rules
+ pkexec: add support for argv1 annotation and mention
shebang-wrappers
+ doc: update guidance on situations where there is no polkit
authority
- Changes from version 0.106:
+ Major change: switch from .pkla files (keyfile-format) to
.rules files (JavaScript)
+ Nuke polkitbackend library, localauthority backend and
extension system

+ Add a systemd .service file
+ Several other code changes.
+ Updated documentation.

+ Add pkttyagent(1) helper
+ Make it possible to influence agent registration with an a{sv}
parameter
+ Several other code changes.
- Add pkgconfig(mozjs185) BuildRequires: new dependency for the
authority backend.
- Rebase polkit-no-wheel-group.patch: the admin configuration is
now in a .rules file.
- Rebase polkit-suid_flags.patch.
- Explicitly pass --enable-libsystemd-login or
--disable-libsystemd-login, depending on whether we build systemd
support.
- Add a %pre script to create the polkitd group and user, as
polkitd now run as an unprivileged user.
- also use -z now for binary hardening
- Package /etc/polkit-1/localauthority and its subdirectories. They
were forgotten because they were empty, but people might need
them to put .pkla files.
- Change the way we pass -fpie/-pie:
+ Drop polkit-pie.patch: this was not upstreamable.
+ Add polkit-suid_flags.patch: respect SUID_CFLAGS/SUID_LDFLAGS
when building the suid binaries (pkexec and
polkit-agent-helper-1).
+ Add autoconf, automake and libtool BuildRequires, and call
autoreconf, for the new patch.
+ Set SUID_CFLAGS to -fPIE and SUID_LDFLAGS to -pie in %build.
+ Pass --with-pic to configure instead of changing CFLAGS to
contain -fPIC.
- fixed bnc#743145 - added -fpie/-pie flags to compilation and linking of polkit-agent-helper and pkexec
- Split typelib file into typelib-1_0-Polkit-1_0 subpackage.
- Add typelib-1_0-Polkit-1_0 Requires to devel subpackage.
- Add explicit libpolkit0 Requires to devel subpackage: it was
missing before.
- Remove explicit glib2-devel Requires from devel subpackage: it
will automatically be added the pkgconfig() way.
- Improve summary of libpolkit0 subpackage.
- A quick test reveals that the systemd backend does not
integrate very well with packages yet, revert.
- Previous update missed systemd-devel in buildrequires
without it no systemd support is built
- Update to version 0.104:
+ Add optional systemd support
+ Add netgroup support (fdo#43610)
+ Add unit tests (fdo#43608)
- Changes from version 0.103:
+ Mistype in DBus object: PoliycKit1 -> PolicyKit1
+ Add support for the org.freedesktop.policykit.imply annotation
+ Add --no-debug option and use this for D-Bus activation
+ Add org.freedesktop.policykit.owner annotation (fdo#41025)
+ Default to AdminIdentities=unix-group:wheel for local authority
- Drop patches that were taken from upstream:
+ 0001-Add-support-for-the-org.freedesktop.policykit.imply-a.diff
+ 0002-Add-no-debug-option-and-use-this-for-D-Bus-activation.diff
+ 0003-Bug-41025-Add-org.freedesktop.policykit.owner-annotat.diff
- Add polkit-no-wheel-group.patch: do not allow the wheel group as
admin identity, and revert to only accept the root user for this.
- pick some patches from git to add support for
org.freedesktop.policykit.imply, disable debug spam and allow
unprivileged users to query authorizations (bnc#698250)
- Update to version 0.102:
+ pkexec:
- fdo#38769: Support running X11 apps
- Avoid time-of-check-to-time-of-use problems with parent
process
+ Fix backend crash if a .policy file does not specify <message>
+ Fix multi-line pam prompt handling
+ Don't show diagnostic messages intended for the administrator
to the end user
+ PolkitUnixProcess:
- Clarify that the real uid is returned, not the effective one
- Record the uid of the process
+ Backend: Use polkit_unix_process_get_uid() to get the owner of
a process
+ Introspection fixes:
- Add --c-include to the gir files
- Specify exported pkg-config files in GIRs
+ Build fix.
- Drop polkit-CVE-2011-1485-1.patch, polkit-CVE-2011-1485-2.patch,
polkit-CVE-2011-1485-3.patch, polkit-CVE-2011-1485-4.patch: fixed
upstream.
- Remove service usage, following the new consensus on Factory
packaging.
- BuildIgnore ruby, which is being dragged in via indirect
dependencies by gtk-doc for one of the helpers, which we do not
need during the build of polkit. Not dragging ruby in resolves a
build-cycle.
- Use %set_permissions instead of deprecated %run_permissions in
%post.
