                 Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package name:           kdelibs
 Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2005:058
 Date:                   March 16th, 2005

 Affected versions:      10.0, 10.1, Corporate 3.0
 ______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 A vulnerability in dcopserver was discovered by Sebastian Krahmer of
 the SUSE security team.  A local user can lock up the dcopserver of
 other users on the same machine by stalling the DCOP authentication
 process, causing a local Denial of Service.  dcopserver is the KDE
 Desktop Communication Procotol daemon (CAN-2005-0396).
 
 As well, the IDN (International Domain Names) support in Konqueror is
 vulnerable to a phishing technique known as a Homograph attack.  This
 attack is made possible due to IDN allowing a website to use a wide
 range of international characters that have a strong resemblance to
 other characters.  This can be used to trick users into thinking they
 are on a different trusted site when they are in fact on a site mocked
 up to look legitimate using these other characters, known as
 homographs.  This can be used to trick users into providing personal
 information to a site they think is trusted (CAN-2005-0237).
 
 Finally, it was found that the dcopidlng script was vulnerable to
 symlink attacks, potentially allowing a local user to overwrite
 arbitrary files of a user when the script is run on behalf of that
 user.  However, this script is only used as part of the build process
 of KDE itself and may also be used by the build processes of third-
 party KDE applications (CAN-2005-0365).
 
 The updated packages are patched to deal with these issues and
 Mandrakesoft encourages all users to upgrade immediately.
