-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACKAGE : kdelibs SUMMARY : Cross site scripting vulnerability DATE : 2002-09-20 12:10:00 ID : CLA-2002:525 RELEVANT RELEASES : 8 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION KDE[1] is a very popular graphical desktop environment available for GNU/Linux and other operating systems. A cross site scripting vulnerability[2] has been found in the Konqueror browser which also affects other programs that use the same rendering engine (KHTML). This vulnerability could allow an attacker to steal cookies and perform other types of cross site scripting attacks on applications which use the KHTML rendering engine, such as Konqueror. The KDE team released an advisory[3] and patches to address this vulnerability. SOLUTION All KDE users, or users of KDE applications which use the KHTML rendering engine, should upgrade their packages. Please note that is necessary to restart KDE (or its applications if another desktop is being used) to close this vulnerability.
