|
|
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 ">=kde-base/kdebase-3.2.3-r1"
