Fedora Core 4 2005-744: kdeedu Vulnerability Scan


Vulnerability Scan Summary
Check for the version of the kdeedu package

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory FEDORA-2005-744 (kdeedu).

Educational/Edutainment applications for KDE

Update Information:

Ben Burton notified the KDE security team about several
tempfile handling related vulnerabilities in langen2kvtml,
a conversion script for kvoctrain. The script must be
manually invoked.

The script uses known filenames in /tmp which allow an local
attacker to overwrite files writeable by the user invoking the
conversion script.

This update fixes these vulnerabilities.
