GENTOO LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT 200305-03

          PACKAGE : kopete
          SUMMARY : Unsafe command line cleansing
             DATE : 2003-05-14 07:39 UTC
          EXPLOIT : remote
VERSIONS AFFECTED : <kopete-0.6.2
    FIXED VERSION : >=kopete-0.6.2
              CVE : CAN-2003-0256

- - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------

The GnuPG plugin in kopete before 0.6.2 does not properly cleanse the 
command line when executing gpg, which allows remote attackers to 
execute arbitrary commands.

SOLUTION

It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running
net-im/kopete upgrade to kopete-0.6.2 as follows:

emerge sync
emerge kopete
emerge clean
