Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-725-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'kdepim' package(s) announced via the USN-725-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'kdepim' package(s) announced via the USN-725-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
It was discovered that Kmail did not adequately prevent execution of arbitrary
code when a user clicked on a URL to an executable within an HTML mail. If a
user clicked on a malicious URL and chose to execute the file, a remote
attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges. This update changes
KMail's behavior to instead launch a helper program to view the file if the
user chooses to execute such a link.

Affected Software/OS:
'kdepim' package(s) on Ubuntu 6.06, Ubuntu 7.10, Ubuntu 8.04, Ubuntu 8.10.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0
