Just to have this one sorted out wrt to the patches, the relevant
upstream patches are these two:
[1] http://gitorious.org/colord/master/commit/1fadd90afcb4bbc47513466ee9bb1e4a8632ac3b [2] http://gitorious.org/colord/master/commit/36549e0ed255e7dfa7852d08a75dd5f00cbd270e

right?

Thank you && Regards, Jan.

When colord runs as root and local active users are allowed to
create new devices (both are the defaults AFAIK) this allows not
only to corrupt colord's own database but also to leverage it to
modify other databases in the system (PackageKit for example also
uses sqlite).

PoC available on request.
