    Subject:		Linux: KDE rlogin.protocol and telnet.protocol url kio Vulnerability
    Advisory number: 	CSSA-2003-012.0
    Issue date: 		2003 March 14

    1. Problem Description
    
    	From the KDE.org 20021111-1 advisory: The implementation of
    	the rlogin protocol in all of the affected systems, and the
    	implementation of the telnet protocol in affected KDE 2 systems,
    	allows a carefully crafted url in an html page, html email or
    	other kio-enabled application to execute arbitrary commands on
    	the system using the victim's account on the vulnerable machine.
    
    
    2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
    
    	System				Package
    	----------------------------------------------------------------------

    3. Solution
    
    	The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
    	customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
    	cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
    	packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
