21 July 2005
KDE library vulnerability
Releases
Details
Kate and Kwrite create a backup file before saving a modified file.
These backup files were created with default permissions, even if the
original file had more strict permissions set, so that other local
users could possibly read the backup file even if they are not
permitted to read the original file.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 5.04
-
kdelibs4
-
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
