The dcopidlng script in KDE 3.3.2 creates temporary files with predictable
filenames, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink
attack.

It seems this issue may affect FC2 as well.

Comment 2 Than Ngo 2005-02-16 12:54:25 UTC

it's now fixed in kdelibs-3.3.1-2.7.FC3, which is built in fc3-updates-candidate.
