provides a LAN information service similar to Network Neighbourhood,
which was discovered by Texonet.  It is possible for a local attacker
to exploit a buffer overflow condition in resLISa, a restricted
version of KLISa.  The vulnerability exists in the parsing of the
LOGNAME environment variable, an overly long value will overwrite the
instruction pointer thereby allowing an attacker to seize control of
the executable.

This problem has been fixed in version 2.2.2-14.2 the current stable
distribution (woody) and in version 2.2.2-14.3 for the unstable
distribution (sid).  The old stable distribution (potato) is not
affected since it doesn't contain a kdenetwork package");
