+  <background>
+    <p>PolicyKit is a toolkit for controlling privileges for system-wide
+      services.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in PolicyKit:</p>
+    
+    <ul>
+      <li>Error messages in the pkexec utility disclose the existence of local
+        files (CVE-2010-0750).
+      </li>
+      <li>The pkexec utility initially checks the effective user ID of its
+        parent process for authorization, instead of checking the real user ID
+        (CVE-2011-1485).
+      </li>
+      <li>Members of the "wheel" group are able to execute commands as an
+        administrator without a password (CVE-2011-4945).
+      </li>
+    </ul>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>A local attacker could gain elevated privileges or sensitive
+      information.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>All PolicyKit users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+    
+    <code>
+      # emerge --sync
+      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-auth/polkit-0.104-r1"
+    </code>
