Check for the version of the kdebase package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2006:105 (kdebase). A problem with how kdm manages the ~/.dmrc file was discovered by Ludwig Nussel. By using a symlink attack, a local user could get kdm to read arbitrary files on the system, including privileged system files and those belonging to other users. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
