| CVE-2020-16122 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.2 | 0.00 | Nov 7, 2020 | PackageKit's apt backend mistakenly treated all local debs as trusted. The apt security model is based on repository trust and not on the contents of individual files. On sites with configured PolicyKit rules this may allow users to install malicious packages. | ||
| CVE-2026-41651 | Hig | 0.50 | 8.8 | 0.00 | Apr 22, 2026 | PackageKit is a a D-Bus abstraction layer that allows the user to manage packages in a secure way using a cross-distro, cross-architecture API. PackageKit between and including versions 1.0.2 and 1.3.4 is vulnerable to a time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition on… | ||
| CVE-2018-1106 | Med | 0.36 | 5.5 | 0.00 | Apr 23, 2018 | An authentication bypass flaw has been found in PackageKit before 1.1.10 that allows users without administrator privileges to install signed packages. A local attacker can use this vulnerability to install vulnerable packages to further compromise a system. | ||
| CVE-2011-2515 | Med | 0.34 | 5.3 | 0.00 | Nov 27, 2019 | PackageKit 0.6.17 allows installation of unsigned RPM packages as though they were signed which may allow installation of non-trusted packages and execution of arbitrary code. | ||
| CVE-2026-10294 | Med | 0.28 | 4.3 | 0.00 | Jun 1, 2026 | A vulnerability has been found in PackageKit up to 1.3.5. Affected is the function g_file_test of the file src/pk-transaction.c of the component API. Such manipulation of the argument frontend-socket leads to improper authorization. The attack can be executed remotely. The… | ||
| CVE-2022-0987 | Low | 0.21 | 3.3 | 0.00 | Jun 28, 2022 | A flaw was found in PackageKit in the way some of the methods exposed by the Transaction interface examines files. This issue allows a local user to measure the time the methods take to execute and know whether a file owned by root or other users exists. | ||
| CVE-2020-16121 | Low | 0.21 | 3.3 | 0.00 | Nov 7, 2020 | PackageKit provided detailed error messages to unprivileged callers that exposed information about file presence and mimetype of files that the user would be unable to determine on its own. | ||
| CVE-2024-0217 | Low | 0.00 | 3.3 | 0.00 | Jan 3, 2024 | A use-after-free flaw was found in PackageKitd. In some conditions, the order of cleanup mechanics for a transaction could be impacted. As a result, some memory access could occur on memory regions that were previously freed. Once freed, a memory region can be reused for other… | ||
| CVE-2013-1764 | 0.00 | — | 0.00 | Apr 16, 2014 | The Zypper (aka zypp) backend in PackageKit before 0.8.8 allows local users to downgrade packages via the "install updates" method. |
