Description of problem: I've read today on the french journal "Le Monde informatique" that all major linux distros (including mageia ?) were menaced by the vulnerability CVE-2021-4034 aka PwnKit, and they advised to run the command: chmod 0755 /usr/bin/pkexec that I've immediately done: before running this command: [alain4@magaux ~]$ ls -l /usr/bin |grep pkexec -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 281 sept. 19 2017 lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings-pkexec* -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 28392 janv. 26 01:07 pkexec* and after: [alain4@magaux ~]$ ls -l /usr/bin |grep pkexec -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 281 sept. 19 2017 lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings-pkexec* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 28392 janv. 26 01:07 pkexec* was I right to do that? thant you for considering this post which seems to me very important Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
