                    Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
    ________________________________________________________________________
    
    Package name:           kdelibs
    Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2002:079
    Date:                   November 21st, 2002
    
    Affected versions:      9.0
    ________________________________________________________________________
    
    Problem Description:
    
     Vulnerabilities were discovered in the KIO subsystem support for various
     network protocols.  The implementation of the rlogin protocol affects
     all KDE versions from 2.1 up to 3.0.4, while the flawed implementation
     of the telnet protocol only affects KDE 2.x.  They allow a carefully
     crafted URL in an HTML page, HTML email, or other KIO-enabled application
     to execute arbitrary commands as the victim with their privilege.
     
     The KDE team provided a patch for KDE3 which has been applied in these
     packages.  No patch was provided for KDE2, however the KDE team 
     recommends disabling both the rlogin and telnet KIO protocols.  This
     can be accomplished by removing, as root, the following files:
     /usr/share/services/telnet.protocol and 
     /usr/share/services/rlogin.protocol.  If either file also exists in a
     user's ~/.kde/share/services directory, they should likewise be removed.
