Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50640
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:003 (kdepim)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to kdepim
announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:003.

A vulnerability was discovered in all versions of kdepim as distributed
with KDE versions 3.1.0 through 3.1.4. This vulnerability allows for a
carefully crafted .VCF file to potentially enable a local attacker to
compromise the privacy of a victim's data or execute arbitrary commands
with the victim's privileges. This can also be used by remote
attackers if the victim enables previews for remote files
however this
is disabled by default.

The provided packages contain a patch from the KDE team to correct this
problem.

Affected versions: 9.1, 9.2

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