                 Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package name:           uim
 Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2005:046
 Date:                   February 24th, 2005

 Affected versions:	 10.1
 ______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 Takumi ASAKI discovered that uim always trusts environment variables
 which can allow a local attacker to obtain elevated privileges when
 libuim is linked against an suid/sgid application.  This problem is
 only exploitable in 'immodule for Qt' enabled Qt applications.
 
 The updated packages are patched to fix the problem.
