Fedora Unix 8.2 FEDR-2002:067-04 Moderate: Kdebase Privilege Problem

red hat
Calendar Grey April 30, 2001
Dist Redhat Esm H88
Canonical has released an announcement about the updated qt libraries, addressing security flaws associated with session tokens, protecting against possible remote access exploitations.
This can be abused by a local user to gain access to the X server and can result in a compromise of the account kdesu accesses.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system.
