Support / Security / Advisories / Mandrakelinux 9.2 / MDKSA-2001:046-3

Package name: kdelibs
Date: 2001-06-27
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2001:046-3
Affected versions: 8.0 i586

Problem description

A problem exists with the kdesu component of kdelibs. It created a world-readable temporary file to exchange authentication information and delete it shortly after. This can be abused by a local user to gain access to the X server and could result in a compromise of the account that kdesu would access. Update: Konqueror was unable to view manpages. This update corrects the problem and further corrections to sound are present for those cards that did not work properly with the previous update.
