+From dd848a42a64a3b22a0cc60f6657b56ce9b6010ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: David Zeuthen <davidz@redhat.com>
+Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2011 16:59:09 +0000
+Subject: PolkitUnixProcess: Clarify that the real uid is returned, not the effective one
+
+On Linux, also switch to parsing /proc/<pid>/status instead of relying
+on the st_uid returned by stat(2) to be the uid we want.
+
+This was pointed out by Neel Mehta <nmehta@google.com>. Thanks!

+Subject: pkexec: Avoid TOCTTOU problems with parent process
+
+In a nutshell, the parent process may change its uid (either real- or
+effective uid) after launching pkexec. It can do this by exec()'ing
+e.g. a setuid root program.
+
+To avoid this problem, just use the uid the parent process had when it
+executed pkexec. This happens to be the same uid of the pkexec process
+itself.
+
+Additionally, remove some dubious code that allowed pkexec to continue
+when the parent process died as there is no reason to support
+something like that. Also ensure that the pkexec process is killed if
+the parent process dies.
+
+This problem was pointed out by Neel Mehta <nmehta@google.com>.
