Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2017-05-10 13:06:45 UTC
From ${URL} :

KAuth contains a logic flaw in which the service invoking dbus is not properly checked. This allows spoofing the identity of the caller and with some carefully crafted calls can lead to gaining root 
from an unprivileged account.

Affected versions: kauth < 5.34, kdelibs < 4.14.32

Upstream patches:

kauth: https://commits.kde.org/kauth/df875f725293af53399f5146362eb158b4f9216a
kdelibs: https://commits.kde.org/kdelibs/264e97625abe2e0334f97de17f6ffb52582888ab

@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
Comment 1 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2017-05-10 13:15:56 UTC
Backported fix and bumped to 5.29.0-r1 in git commit c208b4b8abec754d3d2937317b413bfe3f9ac919
Comment 2 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2017-05-10 18:12:40 UTC
(5.29.0-r1 is ready for stabilisation)
Comment 3 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2017-05-11 07:51:53 UTC
amd64 stable
Comment 4 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2017-05-11 08:38:02 UTC
x86 stable.

Maintainer(s), please cleanup.
Security, please add it to the existing request, or file a new one.
Comment 5 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2017-05-11 15:01:10 UTC
kdelibs-4.14.32 bumped in git commit 142a861308f82867004d811f3d8f5c881a351548, please stabilise - the security fix is the only change to 4.14.31 which would have been long enough in tree already.
Comment 6 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-05-11 18:05:22 UTC
@ Arches, we forgot to add kde-frameworks/kdelibs so please run this bug again.

This is completely unrelated to this bug and a local issue - you have a botched GCC-5 upgrade. Please don't file new bugs until you have successfully completed the instructions of the news item:

https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2015-10-22-gcc-5-new-c++11-abi.html

And once you have done that, _never_ switch back to an older version of GCC.

x86 stable.

Maintainer(s), please cleanup.
