Debian DLA-76-1 : kde4libs security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 82221

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that KAuth, part of kdelibs, uses polkit in a way that is prone to a race condition that may allow authorization bypass.

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
