No patch is available yet for this issue.

The Linux version of the Mozilla VPN client “has been affected by a dangerous security issue within the software's authentication process” for the past few months, reports Alfonso Maruccia.

The flaw was discovered by SUSE developers, who found that the program contains a “privileged D-Bus service running as root and a Polkit policy.”
