Debian DLA-570-1 : kde4libs security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 92634

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was possible to trick kde4libs's KArchiveDirectory::copyTo() function to extract files to arbitrary system locations from a specially prepared tar file outside of the extraction folder.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 4:4.8.4-4+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your kde4libs packages.

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.
