Description David Walser 2018-04-25 04:34:20 CEST

A security issue in ktexteditor has been announced today (April 24):
http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2018/04/24/1

A patch for the issue is attached to the message above.

Mageia 6 wasn't vulnerable originally, but the version we're updating to is.

However, the report doesn't mention whether the protected_symlinks feature in the kernel mitigates the issue; if so, we're not vulnerable.
