Title:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2002:519
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2002:519. KDE[3] is a very popular graphical desktop environment available for GNU/Linux and other operating systems. This is a full update of the KDE desktop to the 3.0.3 version, the latest release by the project[1]. Besides containing several bugfixes and enhancements, this update also fixes two security vulnerabilities: - SSL[2]: previous version of the SSL implementation used by KDE did not correctly check the validity of X.509 certificates and would accept, without any warning, certificates signed by any entity provided that this entity is signed by a recognized CA. This problem would allow for undetected MITM attacks (man in the mittle), which could compromise an encrypted HTTPS session. - artswrapper: in previous versions, this program was SUID root. This configuration is no longer needed and has been removed. Details of all fixes and enhancements made to this new KDE version can be obtained in the project's changelog[4]. Additionally, the Qt library has also been updated to the latest release available at this time, 3.0.5. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-3.0.3.html http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20020818-1.txt http://www.kde.org/ http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog3_0_2to3_0_3.html http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2002:519 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002002 Risk factor : High
