New Linux Flaws Enable Full Root Access via PAM and Udisks Across Major Distributions
(thehackernews.com)
That is a setup guide for hardware key and passkey auth. It is not a hardening guide, and does nothing to mitigate these LPE vulns.
Thank you. That's what I wanted to know.
This is said in the article:
To mitigate the risk posed by these flaws, it's essential to apply patches provided by the Linux distribution vendors. As temporary workarounds, users can modify the Polkit rule for "org.freedesktop.udisks2.modify-device" to require administrator authentication ("auth_admin").
Oof massive cve. It was disclosed so I'm assuming its already patched?
