| Problem Description |
A vulnerability was found in start_kdeinit in KDE 3.5.5 through
3.5.9 where, if it was installed setuid root, it could allow local
users to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code
(CVE-2008-1671).
By default, start_kdeinit is not installed setuid root on Mandriva
Linux, however updated packages have been patched to correct this
issue.
