CVE-2005-0365
The dcopidlng script in KDE 3.2.x and 3.3.x creates temporary files with predictable filenames, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.41%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
