security flaw

Vulnerabilities in the KDE kvt terminal program allow local users to gain root privileges.

The KDE kscd program does not drop privileges when executing a program specified in a user's SHELL environmental variable, which allows the user to gain privileges by specifying an alternate program to execute.

Buffer overflow in KDE kdesud on Linux allows local uses to gain privileges via a long DISPLAY environmental variable.

Buffer overflow in KDE Kmail allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via an attachment with a long file name.

security flaw

The KApplication class in the KDE 1.1.2 configuration file management capability allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files.

Format string vulnerability in kvt in KDE 1.1.2 may allow local users to execute arbitrary commands via a DISPLAY environmental variable that contains formatting characters.

kfm as included with KDE 1.x can allow a local attacker to gain additional privileges via a symlink attack in the kfm cache directory in /tmp.

KDE ktvision 0.1.1-271 and earlier allows local attackers to gain root privileges via a symlink attack on a user configuration file.

klprfax_filter in KDE2 KDEUtils allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the klprfax.filter temporary file.

KICQ 2.0.0b1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed message.

Kmail 1.2 on KDE 2.1.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an email message whose body is approximately 55 K long.

security flaw

The SSL capability for Konqueror in KDE 3.0.2 and earlier does not verify the Basic Constraints for an intermediate CA-signed certificate, which allows remote attackers to spoof the certificates of trusted sites via a man-in-the-middle attack.

security flaw

The cross-site scripting protection for Konqueror in KDE 2.2.2 and 3.0 through 3.0.3 does not properly initialize the domains on sub-frames and sub-iframes, which can allow remote attackers to execute script and steal cookies from subframes that are in other domains.

security flaw

Konqueror in KDE 3.0 through 3.0.2 does not properly detect the "secure" flag in an HTTP cookie, which could cause Konqueror to send the cookie across an unencrypted channel, which could allow remote attackers to steal the cookie via sniffing.

security flaw

Buffer overflow in DSC 3.0 parser from GSview, as used in KGhostView in KDE 1.1 and KDE 3.0.3a, may allow attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via a modified .ps (PostScript) input file.

security flaw

Directory traversal vulnerability in kpf for KDE 3.0.1 through KDE 3.0.3a allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files as the kpf user via a URL with a modified icon parameter.

security flaw

Buffer overflow in LISa allows local users to gain access to a raw socket via a long LOGNAME environment variable for the resLISa daemon.

security flaw

Unknown vulnerability in the rlogin KIO subsystem (rlogin.protocol) of KDE 2.x 2.1 and later, and KDE 3.x 3.0.4 and earlier, allows local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain URL.

security flaw

Unknown vulnerability in the telnet KIO subsystem (telnet.protocol) of KDE 2.x 2.1 and later allows local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain URL.

security flaw

Multiple buffer overflows in LISa on KDE 2.x for 2.1 and later, and KDE 3.x before 3.0.4, allow (1) local and possibly remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the "lisa" daemon, and (2) remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain "lan://" URL.
