Synopsis: Moderate: kdelibs security update
Issue date: 2011-04-21
CVE Names: CVE-2011-1094 CVE-2011-1168
A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the way KHTML, the HTML
layout engine used by KDE applications such as the Konqueror web
browser, displayed certain error pages. A remote attacker could use this
flaw to perform a cross-site scripting attack against victims by
tricking them into visiting a specially-crafted URL. (CVE-2011-1168)
A flaw was found in the way kdelibs checked the user specified hostname
against the name in the server's SSL certificate. A man-in-the-middle
attacker could use this flaw to trick an application using kdelibs into
mistakenly accepting a certificate as if it was valid for the host, if
that certificate was issued for an IP address to which the user
specified hostname was resolved to. (CVE-2011-1094)
Note: As part of the fix for CVE-2011-1094, this update also introduces
stricter handling for wildcards used in servers' SSL certificates.
The desktop must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this
update to take effect.
