Multiple instances of improperly quoted shell command execution exist in KDE 2.x up to and including KDE 3.0.5. KDE fails to properly quote parameters of instructions passed to the shell for execution. These parameters may contain data such as filenames, URLs, email address, and so forth; this data may be provided remotely to a victim via email, web pages, files on a network filesystem, or other untrusted sources.

                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           kde
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2003:004-1
Date:                   January 17th, 2003
Original Advisory Date: January 13th, 2003
Affected versions:      9.0
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 Multiple instances of improperly quoted shell command execution exist
 in KDE 2.x up to and including KDE 3.0.5.  KDE fails to properly quote
 parameters of instructions passed to the shell for execution.  These
 parameters may contain data such as filenames, URLs, email address, and
 so forth; this data may be provided remotely to a victim via email,
 web pages, files on a network filesystem, or other untrusted sources.
 
 It is possible for arbitrary command execution on a vulnerable system 
 with the privileges of the victim's account.
 
 The code audit by the KDE team resulted in patches for KDE 2.2.2 and
 KDE 3; version 3.0.5a was released and the KDE team encourages the
 upgrade.  The listed KDE2 packages have the KDE team's patches applied
 to provide the fixed code.
  
Update:

 The SRPM for the new arts for Mandrake Linux 9.0 was not linked into
 the updates tree.  This has been corrected.

To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate.  The verification of md5
checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.

If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one
of our FTP server mirrors and upgrade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm".  A list of
FTP mirrors can be obtained from:

  http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/ftp.php

Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of
the downloaded package.  You can do this with the command:

  rpm --checksig <filename>

All packages are signed by MandrakeSoft for security.  You can obtain
the GPG public key of the Mandrake Linux Security Team from:

  https://www.mandrakesecure.net/RPM-GPG-KEYS

Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to
update.
