KDE is a feature-rich graphical desktop environment for Linux and
|
|
|
|
|
Unix-like Operating Systems. DCOP is KDE's simple IPC/RPC mechanism.

Sebastian Krahmer discovered that it is possible to stall the
|
|
|
|
|
dcopserver of other users.

An attacker could exploit this to cause a local Denial of Service
|
|
|
|
|
by stalling the dcopserver in the authentication process. As a result
|
|
|
|
|
all desktop functionality relying on DCOP will cease to function.

There is no known workaround at this time.
