Two vulnerabilities were discovered in kdebase :
CAN-2003-0690 :
KDM in KDE 3.1.3 and earlier does not verify whether the pam_setcred function call succeeds, which may allow attackers to gain root privileges by triggering error conditions within PAM modules, as demonstrated in certain configurations of the MIT pam_krb5 module.
CAN-2003-0692 :
KDM in KDE 3.1.3 and earlier uses a weak session cookie generation algorithm that does not provide 128 bits of entropy, which allows attackers to guess session cookies via brute-force methods and gain access to the user session.
These vulnerabilities are described in the following security advisory from KDE :
