Kdbg is a K Desktop Environment (KDE) GUI for gdb, the GNU debugger.
Kdbg 1.1.0 through 1.2.8 does not check permissions of the .kdbgrc file.
If a program is located in a world-writable location, it is possible for a
local user to inject malicious commands. These commands are then executed
with the permission of any user that runs Kdbg. The Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures project assigned the name CAN-2003-0644 to this issue.
Users of Kdbg should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a
backported patch to correct this issue.
