Sebastian Krahmer discovered that it is possible to stall the
dcopserver of other users.

</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker could exploit this to cause a local Denial of Service
by stalling the dcopserver in the authentication process. As a result
all desktop functionality relying on DCOP will cease to function.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All kdelibs users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose kde-base/kdelibs</code>
