Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.55230 |
Category: | Mandrake Local Security Checks |
Title: | Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:159 (kdeedu) |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: The remote host is missing an update to kdeedu announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:159. Ben Burton notified the KDE security team about several tempfile handling related vulnerabilities in langen2kvtml, a conversion script for kvoctrain. This vulnerability was initially discovered by Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña. The script uses known filenames in /tmp which allow an local attacker to overwrite files writeable by the user (manually) invoking the conversion script. The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem. Affected versions: 10.1, 10.2 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2005:159 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-2101 http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20050815-1.txt Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0 |
