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
