Is SecureDoc Affected by The CVE-2021-4034 (PwnKit) Vulnerability?

Body A local privilege escalation vulnerability was found on polkit's pkexec utility. The pkexec application is a setuid tool designed to allow unprivileged users to run commands as privileged users according predefined policies. This has been referred to as "PwnKit" but has been documented as CVE-2021-4034. More details are available here: https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2021-4034

PBL doesn't use the pkexec utility. Thus this vulnerability doesn't affect WinMagic's Pre Boot Linux (PBL).
