Vulnerability Type: local root compromise
Severity (1-10): 3
SuSE default package: yes
Other affected systems: All KDE 1 & KDE 2 systems

Content of this advisory:

3) standard appendix (further information)

______________________________________________________________________________

1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information


kdesu is a KDE frontend for su(1). When invoked it prompts for the
root password and runs su(1). kdesu itself does not run setuid/setgid.

However when enabling the 'keep password' option it tries to send
the password across process boundaries to kdesud via a UNIX socket.
During this it does not verify the identity of the listener on the other
end. This allows attackers to obtain the root password.


This bug has been fixed in the update packages by checking the ownership
of the socket on the listener side.

Download the update package from locations desribed below and install
the package with the command `rpm -Uhv file.rpm'. The md5sum for each
file is in the line below. You can verify the integrity of the rpm
files using the command
`rpm --checksig --nogpg file.rpm',
independently from the md5 signatures below.
