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.
