Check for the version of the kdeedu package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:159 (kdeedu). Ben Burton notified the KDE security team about several tempfile handling related vulnerabilities in langen2kvtml, a conversion script for kvoctrain. This vulnerability was initially discovered by Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña. The script uses known filenames in /tmp which permit an local attacker to overwrite files writeable by the user (manually) invoking the conversion script. The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem.
