Low

Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions KDE versions 3.2.x through 3.3.x

Description The issue concerns the dcopidlng script, which creates temporary files with predictable filenames. This predictability allows local users to perform a symlink attack, enabling them to overwrite arbitrary files.

Recommendations For KDE versions 3.2.x through 3.3.x, consider restricting access to the dcopidlng script until a patch is available to prevent local users from exploiting this issue. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the dcopidlng script for tasks that involve creating temporary files.
