Description
KDE made two security announcements today, the KDM Symlink Vulnerability is a potential local exploit on systems using KDM as their login manager. Artswrapper return value checking vulnerability affects Linux 2.6 systems that have artswrapper installed SUID root. A separate update was made for the wv2 library used in KWord to import MS Word files to fix a boundary check error. Your distribution should have updates for these issues.
Today's People Behind KDE interview is with the person who made the Debian package manager for KDE Adept. KDE's man at the Czech Red Hat office also spends his free time distracting his fellow KDE developers with games of Wesnoth and Freeciv. Find out if you can both be sane and like C++ in our interview with Petr Rockai.
How much do you really know about all of the various distributions that have KDE as their desktop default? With the flexibility of KDE and our applications, distributions are able to focus on different goals, target different users, and develop different personalities. Every couple of weeks, KDE Dot News will interview a distro maintainer to discuss the history of their distribution, what they are focusing on now and what their goals are in the future. To begin with we talk to Tomas Matejicek, the founder and maintainer of SLAX, a LiveCD based from Slackware.
