Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50668
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:004 (kde)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to kde
announced via advisory MDKSA-2003:004.

Multiple instances of improperly quoted shell command execution exist
in KDE 2.x up to and including KDE 3.0.5. KDE fails to properly quote
parameters of instructions passed to the shell for execution. These
parameters may contain data such as filenames, URLs, email address, and
so forth
this data may be provided remotely to a victim via email,
web pages, files on a network filesystem, or other untrusted sources.

It is possible for arbitrary command execution on a vulnerable system
with the privileges of the victim's account.

The code audit by the KDE team resulted in patches for KDE 2.2.2 and
KDE 3
version 3.0.5a was released and the KDE team encourages the
upgrade. The listed KDE2 packages have the KDE team's patches applied
to provide the fixed code.

Affected versions: 8.1, 8.2, 9.0

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