Comments: To: scientific-linux-errata@fnal.gov

Synopsis:	Moderate: kdelibs security update
Issue date:	2007-10-08
CVE Names:	CVE-2007-0242 CVE-2007-0537 CVE-2007-1308
                 CVE-2007-1564 CVE-2007-3820 CVE-2007-4224

Two cross-site-scripting flaws were found in the way Konqueror processes
certain HTML content. This could result in a malicious attacker presenting
misleading content to an unsuspecting user. (CVE-2007-0242, CVE-2007-0537)

A flaw was found in KDE JavaScript implementation.  A web page containing
malicious JavaScript code could cause Konqueror to crash. (CVE-2007-1308)

A flaw was found in the way Konqueror handled certain FTP PASV commands.
A malicious FTP server could use this flaw to perform a rudimentary
port-scan of machines behind a user's firewall. (CVE-2007-1564)

Two Konqueror address spoofing flaws have been discovered. It was
possible for a malicious website to cause the Konqueror address bar to
display information which could trick a user into believing they are at a
different website than they actually are. (CVE-2007-3820, CVE-2007-4224)
