VULHUB ™

kdesu permits a user to run a program as a different user by providing that user's password. Versions of kdesu are vulnerable to a weak password protection scheme. It is possible for a user on the system to intercept the password supplied at the command line. This may lead to an elevation of privileges for the attacker.
