KDEK-Mail存在漏洞。本地用户可以借助临时用户目录中的符号链接攻击提升特权。

source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/300/info

KMail is a mail user agent that comes with the kdenetwork package, part of the K Desktop Environment. A vulnerability in the way KMail creates temporary files to save attachments may allow malicious users to overwrite any file that user running KMail has permissions to.

When viewing messages with attachments KMail creates a directory under /tmp in which to store the attachments with a predictable name of the form "kmail<pid of kmail>". KMail fails to verify whether the directory exists and follows symbolic links. This allows local attackers to create or overwrite files with contents they can select in any directory and/or file writable by the user running KMail.

/*

KDE, kmail local email-attachment symlink exploit - possible root comprimise.

Discovered/coded by: DiGiT - [email protected]

This sploit simply sends an email to somedude@somehost with an attachment on it
that contains a fixed 'shadow' file that set's no password for root, change
that if you need to.

It then scans /proc for a kmail process and when a kmail process starts it
will create /tmp/kmail`pidof kmail` and therein the dir part2 and a symlink
to /etc/shadow.

Then when root or whatever checks his mail the attachment, get's written over
/etc/shadow, setting it so that root has no password so u can su - to get root
privs. (Note: some probs with this because it writes the contents of 'shadow'
attachment directly onto the shadow file itself, and might not erase the line
completly, i'l fix this, later)

Run this sploit with nohup or screen or smt.

ps ps: Besides that fact I am very angry atm, and not very happy with life,
I'd like to note that this kmail crap is UNBELIVABLE buggy and this bug is
only an example of multiple bugs that exist within kmail code, possible remote
comprise is also a possibility but, I hate everything so I wont go into that
atm.
