Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.68215
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-938-1 (kdenetwork)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to kdenetwork
announced via advisory USN-938-1.

Details follow:

It was discovered that KGet did not properly perform input validation when
processing metalink files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted
metalink file, a remote attacker could overwrite files via directory
traversal, which could eventually lead to arbitrary code execution.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 9.04:
kget 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu2.3

Ubuntu 9.10:
kget 4:4.3.2-0ubuntu4.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
kget 4:4.4.2-0ubuntu4.1

After a standard system update you need to restart your session to make
all the necessary changes.
