Vulnerability Summary

a Local Privilege Escalation (from any user to root) in polkit's pkexec, a SUID-root program that is installed by default on every major Linux distribution. pkexec is installed by default on all major Linux distributions (exploited in Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS, and other distributions are probably also exploitable). pkexec is vulnerable since its creation, in May 2009 (commit c8c3d83, "Add a pkexec(1) command"). Any unprivileged local user can exploit this vulnerability to obtain full root privileges. Although this vulnerability is technically a memory corruption, it is exploitable instantly, reliably, in an architecture-independent way. It is exploitable even if the polkit daemon itself is not running.
