Hi All Open Suse Users,
I have a security concern that I wanted to share with the security team at OpenSuse. I am using OpenSuse11, KDE 4.1, and have found this bug/anomolie while monitoring the System Monitor - Version 4 Using KDE 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.2) "release 44.2".
A mandb buffer overflow(at least that is what I think it is) has frozen my system in the past, so I decided to monitor it, and see what is happening. The last time it was using up to 40% of my CPU's before I killed it with the System Monitor. It has always happened while downloading/uploading torrents, and I have seen a gzip application open and close quickly in the Process Table of the System Monitor before happening once before. I thought I should let someone at Suse know what is happening on my system, and see if there is anything I can do to help fix it.
The periodical process that runs mandb will also run a number of gzip processes that will end fast. As far I know, there is nothing unusual or wrong there. What problem do you have? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
