Last modified
CVE-2003-0692 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. KDM in KDE 3.1.3 and earlier uses a weak session cookie generation algorithm that does not provide 128 bits of entropy, which allows attackers to guess session cookies via brute force methods and gain access to the user session.. EPSS estimates a 2.68% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
