+ <background>
+ <p>
+ KDE is a feature-rich graphical desktop environment for Linux and
+ Unix-like operating systems. start_kdeinit is a wrapper for kdeinit.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Vulnerabilities have been reported in the processing of user-controlled
+ data by start_kdeinit, which is setuid root by default.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with root
+ privileges, cause a Denial of Service or send Unix signals to other
+ processes, when start_kdeinit is setuid root.
+ </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 "&gt;=kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.8-r4"</code>
