KDE Project Security Advisory
=============================

Title: kauth: Local privilege escalation
Risk Rating: High
CVE: CVE-2017-8422
Versions: kauth < 5.34, kdelibs < 4.14.32
Date: 10 May 2017


Overview
========
KAuth contains a logic flaw in which the service invoking dbus
is not properly checked.

This allows spoofing the identity of the caller and with some
carefully crafted calls can lead to gaining root from an
unprivileged account.

Solution
========
Update to kauth >= 5.34 and kdelibs >= 4.14.32 (when released)

Or apply the following patches:
kauth: https://commits.kde.org/kauth/df875f...2eb158b4f9216a
kdelibs: https://commits.kde.org/kdelibs/264e...6ffb52582888ab
