Detail
| The KDE team fixed a bug in kppp in 2002 which was now discovered to be exploitable by iDEFENSE. By opening a sufficiently large number of file descriptors before executing kppp which is installed setuid root a local attacker is able to take over privileged file descriptors. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.2-14.7. The testing (sarge) and unstable (sid) distributions are not affected since KDE 3.2 already contained the correction. We recommend that you upgrade your kppp package. |

| Title: | zend_hash_del_key_or_index in zend_hash.c in PHP before 4.4.3 and 5.x before 5.1.3 can cause zend_hash_del to delete the wrong element, which prevents a variable from being unset even when the PHP unset function is called, which might cause the variable's value to be used in security-relevant operations. | ||
| Description: | KPPP 2.1.2 in KDE 3.1.5 and earlier, when setuid root without certain wrappers, does not properly close a privileged file descriptor for a domain socket, which allows local users to read and write to /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf and gain control over DNS name resolution by opening a number of file descriptors before executing kppp. | ||
