Description:
 KDE kdelibs before 4.14 and kauth before 5.1 does not properly use D-Bus
 for communication with a polkit authority, which allows local users to
 bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging a PolkitUnixProcess
 PolkitSubject race condition via a (1) setuid process or (2) pkexec
 process, related to CVE-2013-4288 and "PID reuse race conditions."
