Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

A vulnerability was discovered in all versions of kdepim as distributed with KDE versions 3.1.0 through 3.1.4. This vulnerability allows for a carefully crafted .VCF file to potentially enable a local attacker to compromise the privacy of a victim's data or execute arbitrary commands with the victim's privileges. This can also be used by remote attackers if the victim enables previews for remote files;
however this is disabled by default.

The provided packages contain a patch from the KDE team to correct this problem.
