Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.53522 |
Category: | Debian Local Security Checks |
Title: | Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-692-1) |
Summary: | The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'kdenetwork' package(s) announced via the DSA-692-1 advisory. |
Description: | Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'kdenetwork' package(s) announced via the DSA-692-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The KDE team fixed a bug in kppp in 2002 which was now discovered to be exploitable by iDEFENSE. By opening a sufficiently large number of file descriptors before executing kppp which is installed setuid root a local attacker is able to take over privileged file descriptors. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.2-14.7. The testing (sarge) and unstable (sid) distributions are not affected since KDE 3.2 already contained the correction. We recommend that you upgrade your kppp package. Affected Software/OS: 'kdenetwork' package(s) on Debian 3.0. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.6 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
