The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory CLA-2004:864.
KDE[1] is a very popular graphical desktop environment available for
GNU/Linux and other operating systems.
This announcement fixes the following vulnerabilities:
1. Use of predictable directory names (CVE-2004-0689[2])
As discovered by Andrew Tuitt, KDE's usage of predictable directory
names could be used by a local attacker to cause a denial of service,
even allowing file overwritting.
2. Use of insecure temporary files (CVE-2004-0690[3])
KDE's DCOPServer created temporary files in an insecure manner. Since
this temporary files are used for authentication related purposes
this could potentially allow a local attacker to compromise the
account of any user which runs a KDE application.
3. Cookie injection in Konqueror (CVE-2004-0746[4])
WESTPOINT internet reconnaissance services alerted the KDE security
team that the KDE web browser Konqueror allowed websites to set
cookies for certain country specific secondary top level domains and
that it could be used as a part of a session fixation attack.
4. Frame injection in Konqueror (CVE-2004-0721[5])
A frame injection vulnerability was found by Gary McKay first on a
Mozilla browser but it also affected KDE's browser, Konqueror. A
malicious website could use this to load arbitrary content in an
arbitrary frame in any other browser window.
Solution:
The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades
by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade'
