Upstream has decided not to fix this vulnerability [1]. Apparently they're
using a Linux kernel patch that makes TIOCSTI require CAP_SYS_ADMIN [2],
making this vulnerability impossible to exploit, but the Debian kernel
sources don't seem to contain such a capability check, so polkit on Debian
is still vulnerable.
