The validity of the signature cannot be verified. ________________________________________________________________________ Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory ________________________________________________________________________ Package name: kopete Advisory ID: MDKSA-2003:055 Date: May 8th, 2003 Affected versions: 9.1 ________________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: A vulnerability was discovered in versions of kopete, a KDE instant messenger client, prior to 0.6.2. This vulnerabiliy is in the GnuPG plugin that allows for users to send each other GPG-encrypted instant messages. The plugin passes encrypted messages to gpg, but does no checking to sanitize the commandline passed to gpg. This can allow remote users to execute arbitrary code, with the permissions of the user running kopete, on the local system. ________________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0256 http://kopete.kde.org/index.php?page=newsstory&news=Kopete_releases_version_0.6.2 ________________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandrake Linux 9.1: 3a5e5182ff4463e12142d271c755fa56 9.1/RPMS/kopete-0.6.2-1.1mdk.i586.rpm 853880b7cab7b9f0f796c38b18468a2d 9.1/RPMS/libkopete1-0.6.2-1.1mdk.i586.rpm 5a91638deb2635720ecb7a58cb43ec4e 9.1/SRPMS/kopete-0.6.2-1.1mdk.src.rpm Mandrake Linux 9.1/PPC: 6fbc193d6d90ec62be599de8dc0b04d1 ppc/9.1/RPMS/kopete-0.6.2-1.1mdk.ppc.rpm 5ba0b2e1fe472c157f8d163f9c8375c3 ppc/9.1/RPMS/libkopete1-0.6.2-1.1mdk.ppc.rpm 5a91638deb2635720ecb7a58cb43ec4e ppc/9.1/SRPMS/kopete-0.6.2-1.1mdk.src.rpm ________________________________________________________________________ Bug IDs fixed (see https://qa.mandrakesoft.com for more information): ________________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate.
