Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________
Package name: uim
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2005:046
Date: February 24th, 2005
Affected versions: 10.1
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Takumi ASAKI discovered that uim always trusts environment variables
which can allow a local attacker to obtain elevated privileges when
libuim is linked against an suid/sgid application. This problem is
only exploitable in 'immodule for Qt' enabled Qt applications.
The updated packages are patched to fix the problem.
