Fedora Legacy Update Advisory
Synopsis: Updated kdelibs packages fix security issues
Advisory ID: FLSA:178606
Issue date: 2006-03-16
Product: Red Hat Linux, Fedora Core
Keywords: Bugfix
CVE Names: CVE-2005-0237 CVE-2005-0396 CVE-2005-1046

1. Topic:
Updated kdelibs packages that fix several security issues are now
available.
The kdelibs package provides libraries for the K Desktop Environment.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386
Red Hat Linux 9 - i386
Fedora Core 1 - i386
Fedora Core 2 - i386
Fedora Core 3 - i386, x86_64
3. Problem description:
The International Domain Name (IDN) support in the Konqueror browser
allowed remote attackers to spoof domain names using punycode encoded
domain names. Such domain names are decoded in URLs and SSL certificates
in a way that uses homograph characters from other character sets, which
facilitates phishing attacks. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2005-0237 to this
issue.
Sebastian Krahmer discovered a flaw in dcopserver, the KDE Desktop
Communication Protocol (DCOP) daemon. A local user could use this flaw
to stall the DCOP authentication process, affecting any local desktop
users and causing a reduction in their desktop functionality. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the
name CVE-2005-0396 to this issue.
A buffer overflow was found in the kimgio library for KDE 3.4.0. An
attacker could create a carefully crafted PCX image in such a way that
it would cause kimgio to execute arbitrary code when processing the
image. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2005-1046 to this issue.
A flaw was discovered affecting Kate, the KDE advanced text editor, and
Kwrite. Depending on system settings, it may be possible for a local
user to read the backup files created by Kate or Kwrite. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name CVE-2005-1920 to
this issue.
A heap overflow flaw was discovered affecting kjs, the JavaScript
interpreter engine used by Konqueror and other parts of KDE. An attacker
could create a malicious web site containing carefully crafted
JavaScript code that would trigger this flaw and possibly lead to
arbitrary code execution. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project assigned the name CVE-2006-0019 to this issue.
Users of KDE should upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain
backported patches to correct these issues.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which
are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note
that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only*
contains the desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via yum and apt. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use yum issue:
yum update
or to use apt:
apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
This will start an interactive process that will result in the
appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. This assumes that you
have yum or apt-get configured for obtaining Fedora Legacy content.
Please visit http://www.fedoralegacy.org/docs for directions on how to
configure yum and apt-get.
