3. Description:

 

The K Desktop Environment (KDE) is a graphical desktop environment for the

X Window System. The kdelibs packages include core libraries for the K

Desktop Environment.

 

Security Fix(es):

 

* A privilege escalation flaw was found in the way kdelibs handled D-Bus

messages. A local user could potentially use this flaw to gain root

privileges by spoofing a callerID and leveraging a privileged helper

application. (CVE-2017-8422)

 

Red Hat would like to thank Sebastian Krahmer (SUSE) for reporting this

issue.

 

4. Solution:

 

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes

described in this advisory, refer to:

 

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

 

The desktop must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this update

to take effect.

 

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

 

1449647 - CVE-2017-8422 kauth: service invoking dbus is not properly checked and allows local privilege escalation
