polkit: fix CVE-2025-7519

Browse Source 
A flaw was found in polkit. When processing an XML policy with 32 or
more nested elements in depth, an out-of-bounds write can be triggered.
This issue can lead to a crash or other unexpected behavior, and
arbitrary code execution is not discarded. To exploit this flaw, a
high-privilege account is needed as it's required to place the
malicious policy file properly.
