Date: Tue, 17 May 2005 09:56:53 -0300 From: Conectiva Updates <secure@...ectiva.com.br> To: conectiva-updates@...aleguas.conectiva.com.br, lwn@....net, bugtraq@...urityfocus.com, security-alerts@...uxsecurity.com, linsec@...ts.seifried.org Subject: [CLA-2005:953] Conectiva Security Announcement - kde -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACKAGE : kde SUMMARY : Fixes for multiple KDE security vulnerabilities DATE : 2005-05-17 09:56:00 ID : CLA-2005:953 RELEVANT RELEASES : 9, 10 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION KDE[1] is a very popular graphical desktop environment available for GNU/Linux and other operating systems. This announcement fixes the following vulnerabilities: 1.Local denial of service vulnerability[2] in DCOP daemon A local user can lock up the dcopserver of any other user on the same host by stalling the DCOP authentication process. This can cause a significant reduction in desktop functionality for the affected users including, but not limited to, the inability to browse the internet and the inability to start new applications. 2.Homograph vulnerability[3] in Konqueror IDN allows a website to use a wide range of international characters in its domain name. Unfortunately, some of these characters have a strong resemblance to other characters, so called homographs. This lack of visual difference can be abused by attackers to trick users into visiting malicious websites that resemble a well known and trusted website in order to obtain personal information such as credit card details. 3.Symlink vulnerability[4] in dcopidlng script The dcopidlng script is vulnerable to symlink attacks, potentially allowing a local attacker to overwrite arbitrary files of a user when that user compiles KDE or third party KDE applications that use the dcopidlng script as part of their build process. 4.Weak input validation vulnerable[5] in kimgio kimgio contains a PCX image file format reader that does not properly perform input validation. A source code audit performed by the KDE security team discovered several vulnerabilities in the PCX and other image file format readers, some of them exploitable to execute arbitrary code. 5.Arbitraty code execution vulnerability[6] in Kommander Kommander executes without user confirmation data files from possibly untrusted locations. As they contain scripts, the user might accidentally run arbitrary code. SOLUTION It is recommended that all users of the KDE desktop, including those who use other desktop and only use certain KDE components such as Konqueror, upgrade their KDE packages. IMPORTANT: in order to close the vulnerbilities, all KDE applications have to be restarted.
