CVE-2017-8422 1 Kde 2 Kauth, Kdelibs 2019-10-02 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
KDE kdelibs before 4.14.32 and KAuth before 5.34 allow local users to gain root privileges by spoofing a callerID and leveraging a privileged helper app.
CVE-2019-7443 4 Fedoraproject, Kde, Opensuse and 1 more 5 Fedora, Kauth, Backports and 2 more 2019-05-10 9.3 HIGH 8.1 HIGH
KDE KAuth before 5.55 allows the passing of parameters with arbitrary types to helpers running as root over DBus via DBusHelperProxy.cpp. Certain types can cause crashes, and trigger the decoding of arbitrary images with dynamically loaded plugins. In other words, KAuth unintentionally causes this plugin code to run as root, which increases the severity of any possible exploitation of a plugin vulnerability.
CVE-2014-5033 3 Canonical, Debian, Kde 4 Ubuntu Linux, Kde4libs, Kauth and 1 more 2014-10-16 6.9 MEDIUM N/A
KDE kdelibs before 4.14 and kauth before 5.1 does not properly use D-Bus for communication with a polkit authority, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging a PolkitUnixProcess PolkitSubject race condition via a (1) setuid process or (2) pkexec process, related to CVE-2013-4288 and "PID reuse race conditions."
