2 low-priority security issues in bullseye low

There are 2 open security issues in bullseye.

1 issue left for the package maintainer to handle:
  • CVE-2021-4115: (needs triaging) There is a flaw in polkit which can allow an unprivileged user to cause polkit to crash, due to process file descriptor exhaustion. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to availability. NOTE: Polkit process outage duration is tied to the failing process being reaped and a new one being spawned

You can find information about how to handle this issue in the security team's documentation.
