Arctic Wolf Labs summarizes CVE-2021-4034, a widespread local privilege escalation vulnerability in polkit's pkexec (installed by default on most Linux distributions) that allows a local authenticated user to escalate to root; public PoC code exists and vendors have released patches, so Arctic Wolf recommends prioritizing patches and monitoring distribution advisories and exploitation activity.
