If you cannot patch yet, restrict local user access to trusted individuals and monitor for unauthorized use of pkexec or PPCActivator.py with the --disable argument.

Description

Pardus Parental Control before 0.7.0 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability in the polkit policy that allows unprivileged local users to disable parental controls as root. Attackers can invoke PPCActivator.py with the --disable argument via pkexec to remove all restrictions including DNS filtering and application limits without authentication.
