Re: KDE 4.x Multiple Highly Critical Vulnerabilities
OK. Understand. Well, I guess that we've now accomplished that. LOL.  |

1 edit | This appears to only be an issue if one is using a KHTML browser (a la Konqueror) which hardly anyone does, almost all Linux users use Firefox. And, as Sumware said, not running as root would stop this from compromising the entire system (and almost no one runs as root, especially on the *buntu's). Kubuntu has already pushed the fix for this. I was prompted to update earlier today.
This is one of the reasons I always create MAC profiles for my browser -- it's easy to do and makes bugs like this near impossible to execute. (Actually AppArmor is easy to do, SELinux not so much) 
And where is Matunga? |
