FreeBSD : plasma[56]-plasma-workspace -- Unauthorized users can access session manager (479df73e-2838-11ef-9cab-4ccc6adda413)

high Nessus Plugin ID 200437

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 479df73e-2838-11ef-9cab-4ccc6adda413 advisory.

 David Edmundson reports:
 KSmserver, KDE's XSMP manager, incorrectly allows connections via ICE based purely on the host, allowing all local connections. This allows another user on the same machine to gain access to the session manager.
 A well crafted client could use the session restore feature to execute arbitrary code as the user on the next boot.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
