Ubuntu 5.04 : kdewebdev vulnerability (USN-115-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 20503

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Eckhart Worner discovered that Kommander opens files from remote and possibly untrusted locations without user confirmation. Since Kommander files can contain scripts, this would allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user opening the file.

The updated Kommander will not automatically open files from remote locations, and files which do not end with '.kmdr' any more.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
