Package        : kdelibs-crypto
Vulnerability  : several
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids        : CAN-2003-0459, CAN-2003-0370

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in kdelibs:

- - CAN-2003-0459: KDE Konqueror for KDE 3.1.2 and earlier does not
  remove authentication credentials from URLs of the
  "user:password@host" form in the HTTP-Referer header, which could
  allow remote web sites to steal the credentials for pages that link
  to the sites.

- - CAN-2003-0370: Konqueror Embedded and KDE 2.2.2 and earlier does not
  validate the Common Name (CN) field for X.509 Certificates, which
  could allow remote attackers to spoof certificates via a
  man-in-the-middle attack.

These vulnerabilities are described in the following security
advisories from KDE:
 
kde 
kde

For the current stable distribution (woody) these problems have been
fixed in version 2.2.2-6woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
kdelibs version 4:3.1.3-1.

We recommend that you update your kdelibs-crypto package.
