Description:
Mandrake has issued updated packages for kon2. These fix a vulnerability, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to escalate their privileges on a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the command line parsing code. This could be exploited to cause a buffer overflow, which allows execution of arbitrary code with "root" privileges.
