kpf Directory Traversal
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
kpf is a file sharing utility that can be docked into the KDE kicker bar.
It uses a subset of the HTTP protocol internally and acts much similar to
a web server.
A feature added in KDE 3.0.1 accidentally allowed retrieving any file, not
limited to the configured shared directory, if it is readable by the user
kpf runs under.
DETAILS
Vulnerable systems:
* kpf of any KDE release between KDE 3.0.1 and KDE 3.0.3
Impact:
Files not stored in the shared directory were remotely retrievable.
Solution:
The vulnerable feature has been removed.
Apply the patch listed in section 5 to kdenetwork/kpf, or update to KDE
3.0.4.
kdenetwork-3.0.4 can be downloaded from:
<http://download.kde.org/stable/3.0.4>
http://download.kde.org/stable/3.0.4 : 9f64e76cc6b922e1bf105099e3bf8205
kdenetwork-3.0.4.tar.bz2
Patch:
A patch for KDE 3.0.3 is available from
<ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/security_patches>
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/security_patches :
