Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
Package name: kdelibs
Date: June 27th, 2001
Original Advisory Date: May 3rd, 2001
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2001:046-3
Affected versions: 8.0
Problem Description:
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:
Konqueror was unable to view manpages. This update corrects the
problem and further corrections to sound are present for those cards
that did not work properly with the previous update.
Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of
the downloaded package. You can do this with the command:
rpm --checksig package.rpm
You can get the GPG public key of the Mandrake Linux Security Team at
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS
If you use MandrakeUpdate, the verification of md5 checksum and GPG
signature is performed automatically for you.
