+ <p>KDE workspace configuration module for setting the date and time
+ has a helper program which runs as root for performing actions.
+ This is secured with polkit.</p>
+ <p>This helper takes the name of the ntp utility to run as an
+ argument. This allows a hacker to run any arbitrary command as root
+ under the guise of updating the time.</p>
+ <p>An application can gain root priveledges from an admin user with
+ either misleading information or no interaction.</p>
+ <p>On some systems the user will be shown a prompt to change the
+ time. However, if the system has policykit-desktop-privileges
+ installed, the datetime helper will be invoked by an admin user
+ without any prompts.</p>
