CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT

PACKAGE : kde
SUMMARY : Fix for URI handler vulnerability and other changes
DATE : 2004-05-26 17:59:00
ID : CLA-2004:843
RELEVANT
RELEASES : 8, 9

DESCRIPTION
KDE[1] is a very popular graphical desktop environment available for
GNU/Linux and other operating systems.
iDefense initially published[2] an advisory about a vulnerability[4]
in the Opera browser. After some auditing, the KDE development team
found out[3] that KDE has a similar vulnerability.
The telnet, rlogin, ssh and mailto URI handlers in KDE do not check
for '-' at the beginning of the hostname passed, which makes it
possible to pass an option to the programs started by the handlers.
KDE in Conetiva Linux 9, in addition to having these vulnerabilities
fixed, is also being upgraded to the 3.1.5 version to address other
problems not related to security.
SOLUTION
It is recommended that all users of the KDE desktop, including those
who use other desktop and only use certain KDE components such as
Konqueror or Kmail, upgrade their KDE packages.
IMPORTANT: in order to close the vulnerbilities, all KDE applications
have to be restarted.
