Security of kio-admin
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
kio-admin allows to operate on files with root privileges from within
|
|
unprivileged graphical applications. This is for example used in the Dolphin
|
|
file manager "admin mode" feature.
|
|
|
|
There exist some inherent dangers to the design of kio-admin that can weaken
|
|
your system's security. Please refer to this blog post [1] from the SUSE
|
|
security team for technical details. The post also contains recommendations
|
|
for users of kio-admin [2].
