Description: | Description:
The remote host is missing an update to kdelibs/kdebase announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:086.
A number of vulnerabilities were discovered in KDE that are corrected with these update packages.
The integrity of symlinks used by KDE are not ensured and as a result can be abused by local attackers to create or truncate arbitrary files or to prevent KDE applications from functioning correctly (CVE-2004-0689).
The DCOPServer creates temporary files in an insecure manner. These temporary files are used for authentication-related purposes, so this could potentially allow a local attacker to compromise the account of any user running a KDE application (CVE-2004-0690). Note that only KDE 3.2.x is affected by this vulnerability.
The Konqueror web browser allows websites to load web pages into a frame of any other frame-based web page that the user may have open. This could potentially allow a malicious website to make Konqueror insert its own frames into the page of an otherwise trusted website (CAN-02004-0721).
The Konqueror web browser also allows websites to set cookies for certain country-specific top-level domains. This can be done to make Konqueror send the cookies to all other web sites operating under the same domain, which can be abused to become part of a session fixation attack. All country-specific secondary top-level domains that use more than 2 characters in the secondary part of the domain name, and that use a secondary part other than com, net, mil, org, gove, edu, or int are affected (CVE-2004-0746).
Affected versions: 10.0, 9.2
Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
