Package        : kdelibs
Vulnerability  : several
Problem-type   : local, remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id         : CAN-2002-1393

The KDE team discovered several vulnerabilities in the K Desktop
Environment.  In some instances KDE fails to properly quote parametersof instructions passed to a command shell for execution.  These
parameters may incorporate data such as URLs, filenames and e-mail
addresses, and this data may be provided remotely to a victim in an
e-mail, a webpage or files on a network filesystem or other untrusted
source.

By carefully crafting such data an attacker might be able to execute
arbitary commands on a vulnerable sytem using the victim's account and
privileges.  The KDE Project is not aware of any existing exploits of
these vulnerabilities.  The patches also provide better safe guards
and check data from untrusted sources more strictly in multiple
places.

For the current stable distribution (woody), these problems have been fixed
in version 2.2.2-13.woody.6.

The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain KDE packages.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will most probably
not be fixed but new packages for KDE 3.1 for sid are expected for
this year.

We recommend that you upgrade your KDE packages.


Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
