Description

The KDE Community reports:

kwallet-pam was doing file writing and permission changing

as root that with correct timing and use of carefully

crafted symbolic links could allow a non privileged user

to become the owner of any file on the system.

Solution(s)

  • freebsd-upgrade-package-plasma5-kwallet-pam

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
