Check for the version of the kde package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2003:004-1 (kde). Multiple instances of improperly quoted shell command execution exist in KDE 2.x up to and including KDE 3.0.5. KDE fails to properly quote parameters of instructions passed to the shell for execution. These parameters may contain data such as filenames, URLs, email address, and so forth this data may be provided remotely to a victim via email, web pages, files on a network filesystem, or other untrusted sources. It is possible for arbitrary command execution on a vulnerable system with the rights of the victim's account. The code audit by the KDE team resulted in patches for KDE 2.2.2 and KDE 3 version 3.0.5a was released and the KDE team encourages the upgrade. The listed KDE2 packages have the KDE team's patches applied to provide the fixed code. Update: The SRPM for the new arts for Mandrake Linux 9.0 was not linked into the updates tree. This has been corrected.
