KDE is a feature-rich graphical desktop environment for Linux and
|
|
Unix-like Operating Systems. KStars is a desktop planetarium for KDE.
|
|
It includes support for the Instrument Neutral Distributed Interface
|
|
(INDI).

|
|
Erik Sjolund discovered a buffer overflow in fliccd which is part
|
|
of the INDI support in KStars.

<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute code with
|
|
elevated privileges. If fliccd does not run as daemon remote
|
|
exploitation of this vulnerability is not possible. KDE as shipped by
|
|
Gentoo does not start the daemon in the default installation.

</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All KStars users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=kde-base/kdeedu-3.3.2-r1"</code>
