[DSA660] DSA-660-1 kdebase

Vulnerability Assessment Summary DSA-660-1 kdebase Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Raphaël Enrici discovered that the KDE screensaver can crash under certain local circumstances. This can be exploited by a possible hacker with physical access to the workstation to take over the desktop session. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.2-14.9. This problem has been fixed upstream in KDE 3.0.5 and is therefore fixed in the unstable (sid) and testing (sarge) distributions already. We recommend that you upgrade your kscreensaver package.
