ktsuss is a simple, graphical version of su written in C and GTK+.
Two vulnerabilities have been found in ktuss:
A local attacker could gain escalated privileges and use the “GTK_MODULES” environment variable to possibly execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
There is no known workaround at this time.
Gentoo discontinued support for ktsuss. We recommend that users unmerge ktsuss:
# emerge --unmerge "x11-misc/ktsuss"
OS | Version | Architecture | Package | Version | Filename |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Gentoo | any | all | x11-misc/ktsuss | <= 1.4 | UNKNOWN |
