CVE-2003-0692

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

KDM in KDE 3.1.3 and earlier uses a weak session cookie generation algorithm that does not provide 128 bits of entropy. This allows attackers to guess session cookies via brute force methods and gain access to the user session.

Risk Assessment

Weak session cookies can lead to unauthorized access to user sessions, posing a serious threat to data security.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade to a newer version of KDE that improves the session cookie generation algorithm to enhance user session security.
