Detail
Problem Description: Updated kdebase packages that resolve several bugs are now available. This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Problem description: The kdebase packages provide the core applications for KDE, the K Desktop Environment. These core packages include the file manager Konqueror. Ilja van Sprundel discovered a lock file handling flaw in kcheckpass. If the directory /var/lock is writable by a user who is allowed to run kcheckpass, that user could gain root privileges. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the /var/lock directory is not writable by users and therefore this flaw could only have been exploited if the permissions on that directory have been badly configured. A patch to block this issue has been included in this update. (CVE-2005-2494) The following bugs have also been addressed: - - kstart --tosystray does not send the window to the system tray in Kicker - - When the customer enters or selects URLs in Firefox's address field, the desktop freezes for a couple of seconds - - fish kioslave is broken on 64-bit systems All users of kdebase should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain patches to resolve these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5.
