TITLE:
KDE fliccd Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA14306
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/14306/
CRITICAL:
Moderately critical
IMPACT:
Privilege escalation, System access
WHERE:
From local network
SOFTWARE:
KDE 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/219/
DESCRIPTION:
Erik Sjölund has reported some vulnerabilities in KDE, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges and
potentially by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors in fliccd and
can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows.
Successful exploitation allows malicious, local users to execute
arbitrary code with root privileges, and may also allow malicious
people to execute arbitrary code when the daemon is running (not
default setting).
The vulnerabilities have been reported in KDE 3.3 through 3.3.2.
SOLUTION:
Apply patch for version 3.3.2:
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/security_patches/post-3.3.2-kdeedu-kstars.diff
