I'd mark this a low severity vulnerability. The worst thing can be caused is a crash of polkitd. And when it's needed next time it will be activated by d-bus anyway (at least on systemd revision).

The existing security patch has been rediffed and will be named 'polkit-0.120-security_fixes-1.patch' since it has multiple fixes in it now instead of just one fix.
