Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50873 |
Category: | Mandrake Local Security Checks |
Title: | Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2001:046-3 (kdelibs) |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: The remote host is missing an update to kdelibs announced via advisory MDKSA-2001:046-3. 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: Konqueror was unable to view manpages. This update corrects the problem and further corrections to sound are present for those cards that did not work properly with the previous update. 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-2001:046-3 http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS Risk factor : High |
