Description:
Red Hat has issued an update for kdbg. This fixes an old vulnerability, which potentially can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application not checking the permissions of the .kdbgrc file. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary commands if a debugged program is located in a world-writable directory.
