Message-ID: <200503190928.37385.jaervosz@gentoo.org> Date: Sun Jul 17 15:10:44 2005 From: jaervosz at gentoo.org (Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen) Subject: [gentoo-announce] [ GLSA 200503-22 ] KDE: Local Denial of Service - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200503-22 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Normal Title: KDE: Local Denial of Service Date: March 19, 2005 Bugs: #83814 ID: 200503-22 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======== KDE is vulnerable to a local Denial of Service attack. Background ========== KDE is a feature-rich graphical desktop environment for Linux and Unix-like Operating Systems. DCOP is KDE's simple IPC/RPC mechanism. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 kde-base/kdelibs < 3.3.2-r7 >= 3.3.2-r7 *>= 3.2.3-r8 Description =========== Sebastian Krahmer discovered that it is possible to stall the dcopserver of other users. Impact ====== An attacker could exploit this to cause a local Denial of Service by stalling the dcopserver in the authentication process. As a result all desktop functionality relying on DCOP will cease to function. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All kdelibs users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose kde-base/kdelibs References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2005-0396 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0396 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200503-22.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us. Any security concerns should be addressed to security@...too.org or alternatively, you may file a bug at http://bugs.gentoo.org.
