Description Josh Bressers 2005-02-15 22:06:28 UTC

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.

The kde BTS has more information:

it's now fixed in kdelibs-3.3.1-3.4, which is built in 4E-errata-candidate.
