Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Kees Huijgen found a flaw in the way KDM handled logins when autologin and 'shutdown with password' were enabled. A local user would have been able to login via KDM as any user without requiring a password.
(CVE-2007-4569)

Two Konqueror address spoofing flaws were discovered. A malicious website could spoof the Konqueror address bar, tricking a victim into believing the page was from a different site. (CVE-2007-3820, CVE-2007-4224)

Solution

Update the affected kdebase and / or kdebase-devel packages.
