Upstream patch
This issue did not affect versions of kdelibs as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, 3, 4, or 5, that do not ship start_kdeinit helper. start_kdeinit is shipped in versions of KDE currently in Fedora 7 and 8, however start_kdeinit is not installed as setuid root in Fedora, so Fedora kdelibs packages are not affected by this problem. Public now, lifting embargo: http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20080426-2.txt Closing based on comment #2. I looked at this yesterday and I've come to the same conclusion, so I can confirm that Fedora is not affected. Oh, and start_kdeinit is also shipped in kdelibs3 in dist-f9, but is not installed setuid root there either => dist-f9 also unaffected. Kevin, thanks for review / confirmation! |
