Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'kdepim' package(s) announced via the SSA:2004-014-01 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'kdepim' package(s) announced via the SSA:2004-014-01 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New kdepim packages are available for Slackware 9.0 and 9.1 to fix a security issue with .VCF file handling. For Slackware -current, a complete upgrade to kde-3.1.5 is available. Here are the details from the Slackware 9.1 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ Wed Jan 14 11:58:58 PST 2004 patches/packages/kdepim-3.1.4-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with security patch post-3.1.4-kdepim-kfile-plugins.diff. From the KDE advisory: The KDE team has found a buffer overflow in the file information reader of VCF files. A carefully crafted .VCF file potentially enables local attackers to compromise the privacy of a victim's data or execute arbitrary commands with the victim's privileges. By default, file information reading is disabled for remote files. However, if previews are enabled for remote files, remote attackers may be able to compromise the victim's account. For more details, see: [link moved to references] (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'kdepim' package(s) on Slackware 9.0, Slackware 9.1, Slackware current. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
