commit 3b12cfac29dddd27f1f166a7574d8374cc1dccf2

pkexec: Avoid TOCTTOU problems with parent process
In a nutshell, the parent process may change its uid (either real- or
effective uid) after launching pkexec. It can do this by exec()'ing
e.g. a setuid root program.
To avoid this problem, just use the uid the parent process had when it
executed pkexec. This happens to be the same uid of the pkexec process
itself.
Additionally, remove some dubious code that allowed pkexec to continue
when the parent process died as there is no reason to support
something like that. Also ensure that the pkexec process is killed if
the parent process dies.
This problem was pointed out by Neel Mehta <nmehta at google.com>.

Make PolkitUnixProcess also record the uid of the process
This is needed to avoid possible TOCTTOU issues since a process can
change both its real uid and effective uid.

commit dd848a42a64a3b22a0cc60f6657b56ce9b6010ae
Author: David Zeuthen <davidz at redhat.com>
Date: Thu Mar 31 12:59:09 2011 -0400
PolkitUnixProcess: Clarify that the real uid is returned, not the effective one
On Linux, also switch to parsing /proc/<pid>/status instead of relying
on the st_uid returned by stat(2) to be the uid we want.
This was pointed out by Neel Mehta <nmehta at google.com>. Thanks!
