Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50527
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:047 (kdelibs)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to kdelibs
announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:047.

A vulnerability in the Opera web browser was identified by iDEFENSE

the same type of vulnerability exists in KDE. The telnet, rlogin, ssh,
and mailto URI handlers do not check for '-' at the beginning of the
hostname passed, which makes it possible to pass an option to the
programs started by the handlers. This can allow remote attackers to
create or truncate arbitrary files.

The updated packages contain patches provided by the KDE team to fix
this problem.

Affected versions: 10.0, 9.2

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