via redhat bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1228738


It was reported that polkitd dumps core if you set an invalid object
path when calling RegisterAuthenticationAgent.
It allows local authenticated users to perform a denial of service attack.

PolicyKit from SLE11 uses different design, I also checked at the code for similar patterns, but did not find any.

Hi 
When I update to polkit 0.113-3.8.1 will cause some authorize problems
1. users can't enable or disable WiFi
2. users can't modify personal network settings
3. users can't connect to another available connection
downgrade to polkit-0.112-3.5.1, everything is OK
I took some screenshots in my blog
http://swyear.blogspot.tw/2015/10/20151022-polkit.html
please fix these problems
Thanks

I'm using openSUSE 13.2 with KDE desktop
all packages are updated to Oss and Update repositories
