Debian Security Advisory DSA 167-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
September 16th, 2002 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : Konquerer
Vulnerability : cross site scripting
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
Upstream URL : http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20020908-2.txt
A cross site scripting problem has been discovered in Konquerer, a
famous browser for KDE and other programs using KHTML. The KDE team
reports that Konqueror's cross site scripting protection fails to
initialize the domains on sub-(i)frames correctly. As a result,
Javascript is able to access any foreign subframe which is defined in
the HTML source. Users of Konqueror and other KDE software that uses
the KHTML rendering engine may become victim of a cookie stealing and
other cross site scripting attacks.
This problem has been fixed in version 2.2.2-13.woody.3 for the
current stable distribution (woody) and in version 2.2.2-14 for the
unstable distribution (sid). The old stable distribution (potato) is
not affected since it didn't ship KDE.
We recommend that you upgrade your kdelibs package and restart
Konquerer.
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:
apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages
You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
