Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50864
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2001:046-1 (kdelibs)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to kdelibs
announced via advisory MDKSA-2001:046-1.

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:

The previous update was missing the /usr/bin/kdeinit_shutdown file.

Affected versions: 8.0

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