+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could exploit this to cause a local Denial of Service
+ by stalling the dcopserver in the authentication process. As a result
+ all desktop functionality relying on DCOP will cease to function.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All kdelibs users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose kde-base/kdelibs</code>
