+Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Allow uid of -1 for a PolkitUnixProcess
+
+Commit 2cb40c4d5 changed PolkitUnixUser, PolkitUnixGroup, and
+PolkitUnixProcess to allow negative values for their uid/gid properties,
+since these are values above INT_MAX which wrap around but are still
+valid, with the exception of -1 which is not valid. However,
+PolkitUnixProcess allows a uid of -1 to be passed to
+polkit_unix_process_new_for_owner() which means polkit is expected to
+figure out the uid on its own (this happens in the _constructed
+function). So this commit removes the check in
+polkit_unix_process_set_property() so that new_for_owner() can be used
+as documented without producing a critical error message.
+
+This does not affect the protection against CVE-2018-19788 which is
+based on creating a user with a UID up to but not including 4294967295
+(-1).
+
+CVE: CVE-2018-19788
