KDE is a feature-rich graphical desktop environment for Linux and
|
|
Unix-like Operating Systems. KDM is the KDE Display Manager and is part
|
|
of the kdebase package.

Ludwig Nussel discovered that KDM could be tricked into allowing users
|
|
to read files that would otherwise not be readable.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker could exploit this issue to obtain potentially
|
|
sensitive information that is usually not accessable to the local user
|
|
such as shadow files or other user's files. The default Gentoo user
|
|
running KDM is root and, as a result, the local attacker can read any
|
|
file.

<workaround>
|

<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

All kdebase users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose kde-base/kdebase</code>
|

All KDE split ebuild users should upgrade to the latest KDM version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose kde-base/kdm</code>
