KDE is a feature-rich graphical desktop environment for Linux and
|
|
Unix-like Operating Systems. DCOP is KDE's simple IPC/RPC mechanism.
|
|
dcopidlng is a DCOP helper script.

|
|
Davide Madrisan has discovered that the dcopidlng script creates
|
|
temporary files in a world-writable directory with predictable names.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary
|
|
files directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem.
|
|
When dcopidlng is executed, this would result in the file being
|
|
overwritten with the rights of the user running the utility, which
|
|
could be the root user.

<workaround>

<p>
|
|
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>
