dcopserver of other users.

|

<p>
|
|
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.

All kdelibs users should upgrade to the latest version:

|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose kde-base/kdelibs</code>
