KDE Security Advisory: Kommander untrusted code execution
Original Release Date: 2005-04-20
URL: http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20050420-1.txt

0. References

1. Systems affected:

Quanta 3.1.x, KDE 3.2 and new up to including KDE 3.4.0.


2. Overview:

Kommander is a visual editor and interpreter to edit and
interpret visual dialogs and execute scripts attached to
dialog actions.

Kommander executes without user confirmation data files
from possibly untrusted locations. As they contain
scripts, the user might accidentally run arbitrary code.


3. Impact:

Remotly supplied kommander files from untrusted sources
are executed without confirmation.


4. Solution:

Source code patches have been made available which fix these
vulnerabilities. Contact your OS vendor / binary package provider
for information about how to obtain updated binary packages.


5. Patch:

A patch for KDE 3.4.0 is available from
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/security_patches :

c388b21d91c8326fc9757cd8786713db post-3.4.0-kdewebdev-kommander.diff

A patch for KDE 3.3.2 is available from
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/security_patches :
