CVE-2013-2120  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-287  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:6 kdeplasma-addons-libs.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kdeplasma-addons-libs package and not the kdeplasma-addons-libs package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The %{password(...)} macro in pastemacroexpander.cpp in the KDE Paste Applet before 4.10.5 in kdeplasma-addons does not properly generate passwords, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass authentication via a brute-force attack.
