1. Topic:
Updated kdelibs packages fixing a security problem, some memory leaks
and some minor bugs are available.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.1 - i386
3. Problem description:
kdesu created a world-readable temporary file to exchange
authentication information and delete it shortly after. This can be
abused by a local user to gain access to the X server and can result
in a compromise of the account kdesu accesses.
This update also fixes memory leaks in Konqueror (khtml) and KDebug,
as well as some minor bugs.
kdelibs 2.2alpha1 includes those fixes, as well; if you're using the
experimental package from rawhide or ftp.kde.org, you don't need to
downgrade to the errata package for security reasons.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only
those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs
which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated.
Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current
directory *only* contains the desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network.
Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat
Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the
appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system.

tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command:
rpm --checksig --nogpg <filename>
