Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.67348
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-932-1 (kdebase-workspace)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to kdebase-workspace
announced via advisory USN-932-1.

Details follow:

Sebastian Krahmer discovered a race condition in the KDE Display Manager
(KDM). A local attacker could exploit this to change the permissions on
arbitrary files, thus allowing privilege escalation.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 8.10:
kdm 4:4.1.4-0ubuntu1~
intrepid3.2

Ubuntu 9.04:
kdm 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 9.10:
kdm 4:4.3.2-0ubuntu7.2

After a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to
effect the necessary changes.
