Unix-like Operating Systems.

<description>
<p>
KDE contains three security issues:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Insecure handling of temporary files when running KDE applications
outside of the KDE environment</li>
<li>DCOPServer creates temporary files in an insecure manner</li>
<li>The Konqueror browser allows websites to load webpages into a target
frame of any other open frame-based webpage</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to create or overwrite
files with the permissions of another user, compromise the account of users
running a KDE application and insert arbitrary frames into an otherwise
trusted webpage.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
upgrade to the latest available version of kdebase.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All KDE users should upgrade to the latest versions of kdelibs and kdebase:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv "&gt;=kde-base/kdebase-3.2.3-r1"
# emerge "&gt;=kde-base/kdebase-3.2.3-r1"
# emerge -pv "&gt;=kde-base/kdelibs-3.2.3-r1"
# emerge "&gt;=kde-base/kdelibs-3.2.3-r1"</code>
