    CVE-2021-4034 POC exploit

    • Worth noting that this and the other exploit that was posted on twitter last night do not work (at least) on Fedora 34, and some versions of OpenSUSE. Generally they will not work on versions of polkit which disable GVFS. My POC [0] handles this by just setting the relevant env variable explicitly.
