Check for the version of the kdelibs package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2006:186 (kdelibs). A vulnerability was discovered in the way that Qt handled pixmap images and the KDE khtml library used Qt in such a way that untrusted parameters could be passed to Qt, resulting in an integer overflow. This flaw could be exploited by a remote attacker in a malicious website that, when viewed by an individual using Konqueror, would cause Konqueror to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user. Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
