+ <title>KStars: Buffer overflow in fliccd</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ KStars is vulnerable to a buffer overflow that could lead to arbitrary code
+ execution with elevated privileges.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ KDE is a feature-rich graphical desktop environment for Linux and
+ Unix-like Operating Systems. KStars is a desktop planetarium for KDE.
+ It includes support for the Instrument Neutral Distributed Interface
+ (INDI).
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Erik Sjolund discovered a buffer overflow in fliccd which is part
+ of the INDI support in KStars.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute code with
+ elevated privileges. If fliccd does not run as daemon remote
+ exploitation of this vulnerability is not possible. KDE as shipped by
+ Gentoo does not start the daemon in the default installation.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All KStars users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=kde-base/kdeedu-3.3.2-r1"</code>
