Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2010:0348
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2010:0348. The K Desktop Environment (KDE) is a graphical desktop environment for the X Window System. The kdebase packages include core applications for KDE. A privilege escalation flaw was found in the KDE Display Manager (KDM). A local user with console access could trigger a race condition, possibly resulting in the permissions of an arbitrary file being set to world writable, allowing privilege escalation. (CVE-2010-0436) Red Hat would like to thank Sebastian Krahmer of the SuSE Security Team for responsibly reporting this issue. Users of KDE should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. The system should be rebooted for this update to take effect. After the reboot, administrators should manually remove all leftover user-owned dmctl-* directories in /var/run/xdmctl/. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0348.html http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/#important Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 6.9
