Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51462
Category:Conectiva Local Security Checks
Title:Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2003:747
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory CLA-2003:747.

KDE is a very popular graphical desktop environment available for
GNU/Linux and other operating systems.

This update includes fixes for several vulnerabilities in the KDE
versions distributed with Conectiva Linux:

- Konqueror Referrer Leaking Website Authentication Credentials[1].
- KDM privilege escalation with specific PAM modules[3].
- KDM weak session cookies[3].
- PS/PDF file handling vulnerability[6]. (Conectiva Linux 8 only)*

* A previous announcement[8] (CLSA-2003:668) has already included the
fixes for Conectiva Linux 9.

Please note that the KDE packages for Conectiva Linux 8 are being
updated to the 3.0.5b version[9], added of patches for the two first
aforementioned vulnerabilities. In the case of Conectiva Linux 9,
only the affected packages are being updated (with patches).

KDE users from Conectiva Linux 7.0 are also vulnerable to these
issues and to a Konqueror Embedded SSL vulnerability[10]. It's
recommended that these users upgrade to Conectiva Linux 8 or
Conectiva Linux 9, which contain several improvements for desktop
users.

Solution:
The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades
by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade'
