kdelibs vulnerability Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - kdelibs - kdelibs-bin - kdelibs-data - kdelibs4 - kdelibs4-dev - kdelibs4-doc - kdelibs4c2 - kdelibs4c2-dbg Description : Maksim Orlovich discovered that kjs, the Javascript interpreter engine used by Konqueror and other parts of KDE, did not sufficiently verify the validity of UTF-8 encoded URIs. Specially crafted URIs could trigger a buffer overflow. By tricking an user into visiting a web site with malicious JavaScript code, a remote attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with user rights. Solution : Upgrade to : - kdelibs-3.4.3-0ubuntu2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - kdelibs-bin-3.4.3-0ubuntu2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - kdelibs-data-3.4.3-0ubuntu2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - kdelibs4-3.4.0-0ubuntu3.5 (Ubuntu 5.04) - kdelibs4-dev-3.4.3-0ubuntu2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - kdelibs4-doc-3.4.3-0ubuntu2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - kdelibs4c2-3.4.3-0ubuntu2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - kdelibs4c2-dbg-3.4.3-0ubuntu2 (Ubuntu 5.10) Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
