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

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.
