RedHat: Important: kdelibs security update RHSA-2005:065-01
Summary
Summary
The kdelibs packages include libraries for the K Desktop Environment. Two flaws were found in the sandbox environment used to run Java-applets in the Konqueror web browser. If a user has Java enabled in Konqueror and visits a malicious website, the website could run a carefully crafted Java-applet and obtain escalated privileges allowing reading and writing of arbitrary files with the privileges of the victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-1145 to this issue. A flaw was discovered in the FTP kioslave. KDE applications such as Konqueror could be forced to execute arbitrary FTP commands via a carefully crafted ftp URL. The URL could also be crafted in such a way as to send an arbitrary email via SMTP. An attacker could make use of this flaw if a victim visits a malicious web site. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CAN-2004-1165 to this issue. Users should update to these erratum packages which contain backported patches to correct these issues.
