It has been reported that the KDE 3.1 kdeglobals, as well as other configuration files may be stored with insecure permissions on some distributions. Specifically, it has been reported that SuSE 8.2 stores the kdeglobals configuration file, and other files, world-writeable. This may make it possible for a malicious local user to carry out a number of attacks on any other user of the KDE graphical user interface.
