Kile: Incorrect backup file permission

Kile: Incorrect backup file permission Kile uses default permissions for backup files, potentially leading to information disclosure. kile 2006-11-27 2006-11-27 155613 local 1.9.2-r1 1.9.2-r1

Kile is a TeX/LaTeX editor for KDE.

Kile fails to set the same permissions on backup files as on the original file. This is similar to CVE-2005-1920.

A kile user may inadvertently grant access to sensitive information.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Kile users should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-editors/kile-1.9.2-r1"
