rPath Security Advisory: 2007-0194-1 Published: 2007-09-20 Products: rPath Linux 1 Rating: Major Exposure Level Classification: Local Root Deterministic Unauthorized Access Updated Versions: kdebase=/conary.rpath.com@rpl:devel//1/3.4.2-3.14-1 rPath Issue Tracking System: https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-1725 References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4569 Description: Previous versions of the kdebase package contain a kdm vulnerability in which an unprivileged user may, if auto-login is enabled, be allowed to log in as a another user (or as root) without supplying proper login credentials. If kdm is also configured to service incoming XDMCP requests, remote root unauthorized access may be possible. In its default configuration, rPath Linux 1 is not vulnerable to this unauthorized access. Copyright 2007 rPath, Inc. This file is distributed under the terms of the MIT License.
