Package        : policykit-1
Version        : 0.105-15~deb8u4
CVE ID         : CVE-2018-19788 CVE-2019-6133

Two vulnerabilities were found in Policykit, a framework for managing
administrative policies and privileges:

CVE-2018-19788

    It was discovered that incorrect processing of very high UIDs in
    Policykit could result in authentication bypass.

CVE-2019-6133

    Jann Horn of Google found that Policykit doesn't properly check
    if a process is already authenticated, which can lead to an
    authentication reuse by a different user.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
0.105-15~deb8u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your policykit-1 packages.
