3. Description:

The K Desktop Environment (KDE) is a graphical desktop environment for the
X Window System. The kdelibs packages include core libraries for the K
Desktop Environment.

Security Fix(es):

* A privilege escalation flaw was found in the way kdelibs handled D-Bus
messages. A local user could potentially use this flaw to gain root
privileges by spoofing a callerID and leveraging a privileged helper
application. (CVE-2017-8422)

Red Hat would like to thank Sebastian Krahmer (SUSE) for reporting this
issue.

4. Solution:

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

The desktop must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this update
to take effect.

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

1449647 - CVE-2017-8422 kauth: service invoking dbus is not properly checked and allows local privilege escalation
