--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2004-122 2004-05-19 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : kdelibs Version : 3.2.2 Release : 6 Summary : K Desktop Environment - Libraries Description : Libraries for the K Desktop Environment: KDE Libraries included: kdecore (KDE core library), kdeui (user interface), kfm (file manager), khtmlw (HTML widget), kio (Input/Output, networking), kspell (spelling checker), jscript (javascript), kab (addressbook), kimgio (image manipulation).
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
iDEFENSE identified a vulnerability in the Opera Web Browser that could allow remote attackers to create or truncate arbitrary files. The KDE team has found that a similar vulnerability exists in KDE.
A flaw in the telnet URL handler can allow options to be passed to the telnet program which can be used to allow file creation or overwriting. An attacker could create a carefully crafted link such that when opened by a victim it creates or overwrites a file in the victims home directory. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0411 to this issue.
