Descriptions
start_kdeinit in KDE 3.5.5 through 3.5.9, when installed setuid root, allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via "user-influenceable input" (probably command-line arguments) that cause start_kdeinit to send SIGUSR1 signals to other processes.
start_kdeinit en KDE de 3.5.5 a 3.5.9, cuando está instalado setuid root, permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio y posiblemente ejecutar código de su elección mediante "una entrada influenciable por el usuario" (probablemente argumentos en línea de comandos) que provocan que start_kdeinit envíe señales SIGUSR1 a otros procesos.
