Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to uim
announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:046.

which can allow a local attacker to obtain elevated privileges when
libuim is linked against an suid/sgid application. This problem is
only exploitable in 'immodule for Qt' enabled Qt applications.

The updated packages are patched to fix the problem.

Affected versions: 10.1

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
