Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2010:098 (kdenetwork4)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to kdenetwork4
announced via advisory MDVSA-2010:098.

A vulnerability has been discovered and fixed in kget (kdenetwork4):

The name attribute of the file element of metalink files is not
properly sanitized before being used to download files. If a user
is tricked into downloading from a specially crafted metalink file,
this can be exploited to download files to directories outside of
the intended download directory via directory traversal attacks
(CVE-2010-1000).

Packages for 2009.0 are provided due to the Extended Maintenance
Program.

The corrected packages solves these problems.

Affected: 2009.0, 2009.1, 2010.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
