+  <title>KDE dcopidlng: Insecure temporary file creation</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    The dcopidlng script is vulnerable to symlink attacks, potentially allowing
+    a local user to overwrite arbitrary files.

+    <p>
+    KDE is a feature-rich graphical desktop environment for Linux and
+    Unix-like Operating Systems. DCOP is KDE's simple IPC/RPC mechanism.
+    dcopidlng is a DCOP helper script.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Davide Madrisan has discovered that the dcopidlng script creates
+    temporary files in a world-writable directory with predictable names.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary
+    files directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem.
+    When dcopidlng is executed, this would result in the file being
+    overwritten with the rights of the user running the utility, which
+    could be the root user.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All kdelibs users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose kde-base/kdelibs</code>
