Description |
+ |
kpmcore_externalcommand helper contains a logic flaw in which the service invoking dbus is not properly checked. An attacker on your local machine can replace /etc/fstab, execute mount and other partitioning related commands while KDE Partition Manager is running. mount command can then be used to gain full root privileges. |
