KDE KCron through 21.12.2 uses a temporary file in /tmp when saving, but reuses the filename during an editing session

CVE-2022-24986 7.8 - High - February 26, 2022

KDE KCron through 21.12.2 uses a temporary file in /tmp when saving, but reuses the filename during an editing session. Thus, someone watching it be created the first time could potentially intercept the file the following time, enabling that person to run unauthorized commands.

Race Condition

The LSP (Language Server Protocol) plugin in KDE Kate before 21.12.2 and KTextEditor before 5.91.0 tries to execute the associated LSP server binary when opening a file of a given type

CVE-2022-23853 7.8 - High - February 11, 2022

The LSP (Language Server Protocol) plugin in KDE Kate before 21.12.2 and KTextEditor before 5.91.0 tries to execute the associated LSP server binary when opening a file of a given type. If this binary is absent from the PATH, it will try running the LSP server binary in the directory of the file that was just opened (due to a misunderstanding of the QProcess API, that was never intended). This can be an untrusted directory.

In KDE KMail 19.12.3 (aka 5.13.3)

CVE-2021-38373 5.3 - Medium - August 10, 2021

In KDE KMail 19.12.3 (aka 5.13.3), the SMTP STARTTLS option is not honored (and cleartext messages are sent) unless "Server requires authentication" is checked.

Command Injection

KDE KImageFormats 5.70.0 through 5.81.0 has a stack-based buffer overflow in XCFImageFormat::loadTileRLE.

CVE-2021-36083 5.5 - Medium - July 01, 2021

Memory Corruption

KDE Messagelib through 5.17.0 reveals cleartext of encrypted messages in some situations

CVE-2021-31855 6.5 - Medium - June 02, 2021

KDE Messagelib through 5.17.0 reveals cleartext of encrypted messages in some situations. Deleting an attachment of a decrypted encrypted message stored on a remote server (e.g., an IMAP server) causes KMail to upload the decrypted content of the message to the remote server. With a crafted message, a user could be tricked into decrypting an encrypted message and then deleting an attachment attached to this message. If the attacker has access to the messages stored on the email server, then the attacker could read the decrypted content of the encrypted message. This occurs in ViewerPrivate::deleteAttachment in messageviewer/src/viewer/viewer_p.cpp.

Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information

An issue was discovered in KDE Partition Manager 4.1.0 before 4.2.0

CVE-2020-27187 7.8 - High - October 26, 2020

An issue was discovered in KDE Partition Manager 4.1.0 before 4.2.0. The kpmcore_externalcommand helper contains a logic flaw in which the service invoking D-Bus is not properly checked. An attacker on the local machine can replace /etc/fstab, and execute mount and other partitioning related commands, while KDE Partition Manager is running. the mount command can then be used to gain full root privileges.

Improper Input Validation

The CSS parser (khtml/css/cssparser.cpp) in Konqueror in KDE 4.7.3

CVE-2012-4512 8.8 - High - February 08, 2020

The CSS parser (khtml/css/cssparser.cpp) in Konqueror in KDE 4.7.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly read memory via a crafted font face source, related to "type confusion."

Object Type Confusion

In KDE Frameworks KConfig before 5.61.0

CVE-2019-14744 7.8 - High - August 07, 2019

In KDE Frameworks KConfig before 5.61.0, malicious desktop files and configuration files lead to code execution with minimal user interaction. This relates to libKF5ConfigCore.so, and the mishandling of .desktop and .directory files, as demonstrated by a shell command on an Icon line in a .desktop file.

Shell injection

KDE KAuth before 5.55 allows the passing of parameters with arbitrary types to helpers running as root over DBus via DBusHelperProxy.cpp

CVE-2019-7443 8.1 - High - May 07, 2019

KDE KAuth before 5.55 allows the passing of parameters with arbitrary types to helpers running as root over DBus via DBusHelperProxy.cpp. Certain types can cause crashes, and trigger the decoding of arbitrary images with dynamically loaded plugins. In other words, KAuth unintentionally causes this plugin code to run as root, which increases the severity of any possible exploitation of a plugin vulnerability.

Improper Input Validation

In KDE KMail 5.2.3, an attacker in possession of S/MIME or PGP encrypted emails can wrap them as sub-parts within a crafted multipart email

CVE-2019-10732 4.3 - Medium - April 07, 2019

In KDE KMail 5.2.3, an attacker in possession of S/MIME or PGP encrypted emails can wrap them as sub-parts within a crafted multipart email. The encrypted part(s) can further be hidden using HTML/CSS or ASCII newline characters. This modified multipart email can be re-sent by the attacker to the intended receiver. If the receiver replies to this (benign looking) email, they unknowingly leak the plaintext of the encrypted message part(s) back to the attacker.

insecure temporary file

An issue was discovered in KTextEditor 5.34.0 through 5.45.0

CVE-2018-10361 7.8 - High - April 25, 2018

An issue was discovered in KTextEditor 5.34.0 through 5.45.0. Insecure handling of temporary files in the KTextEditor's kauth_ktexteditor_helper service (as utilized in the Kate text editor) can allow other unprivileged users on the local system to gain root privileges. The attack occurs when one user (who has an unprivileged account but is also able to authenticate as root) writes a text file using Kate into a directory owned by a another unprivileged user. The latter unprivileged user conducts a symlink attack to achieve privilege escalation.

Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere

An issue was discovered in KDE Plasma Workspace before 5.12.0

CVE-2018-6790 5.3 - Medium - February 07, 2018

An issue was discovered in soliduiserver/deviceserviceaction.cpp in KDE Plasma Workspace before 5.12.0

CVE-2018-6791 6.8 - Medium - February 07, 2018

An issue was discovered in soliduiserver/deviceserviceaction.cpp in KDE Plasma Workspace before 5.12.0. When a vfat thumbdrive that contains `` or $() in its volume label is plugged in and mounted through the device notifier, it's interpreted as a shell command, leading to a possibility of arbitrary command execution.
