This is a Debian Security Advisory DSA 692-1 for kdenetwork. The KDE team fixed a bug in kppp in 2002 which was discovered to be exploitable by iDEFENSE. By opening a sufficiently large number of file descriptors before executing kppp, a local attacker is able to take over privileged file descriptors. For the stable distribution (woody), this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.2-14.7. The testing (sarge) and unstable (sid) distributions are not affected since KDE 3.2 already contained the correction. It is recommended to upgrade the kppp package
