Synopsis:	Critical: kdelibs security update
Issue date:	2009-06-25
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-1687 CVE-2009-1690 CVE-2009-1698

A flaw was found in the way the KDE CSS parser handled content for the
CSS "style" attribute. A remote attacker could create a 
specially-crafted CSS equipped HTML page, which once visited by an 
unsuspecting user, could cause a denial of service (Konqueror crash) or, 
potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user 
running Konqueror. (CVE-2009-1698)

A flaw was found in the way the KDE HTML parser handled content for the
HTML "head" element. A remote attacker could create a specially-crafted
HTML page, which once visited by an unsuspecting user, could cause a 
denial of service (Konqueror crash) or, potentially, execute arbitrary 
code with the privileges of the user running Konqueror. (CVE-2009-1690)

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was
found in the way the KDE JavaScript garbage collector handled memory
allocation requests. A remote attacker could create a specially-crafted
HTML page, which once visited by an unsuspecting user, could cause a 
denial of service (Konqueror crash) or, potentially, execute arbitrary 
code with the privileges of the user running Konqueror. (CVE-2009-1687)

The desktop must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this 
update to take effect.
