Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50870 |
Category: | Mandrake Local Security Checks |
Title: | Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2001:046-2 (kdelibs) |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: The remote host is missing an update to kdelibs announced via advisory MDKSA-2001:046-2. A problem exists with the kdesu component of kdelibs. It created a world-readable temporary file to exchange authentication information and delete it shortly after. This can be abused by a local user to gain access to the X server and could result in a compromise of the account that kdesu would access. Update: The previous update broke sound support under KDE. This update resolves the problem. Affected versions: 8.0 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2001:046-2 http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS Risk factor : High |
