Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50838
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2002:064 (kdelibs)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to kdelibs
announced via advisory MDKSA-2002:064.

A vulnerability was discovered in Konqueror's cross site scripting
protection, in that it fails to initialize the domains on sub-(i)frames
correctly. Because of this, javascript may access any foreign subframe
which is defined in the HTML source, which can be used to steal cookies
from the client and allow other cross-site scripting attacks. This
also affects other KDE software that uses the KHTML rendering engine.

This is fixed in KDE 3.0.3a, and the KDE team provided a patch for
KDE 2.2.2. This patch has been applied to the following packages.

After upgrading kdelibs, you must restart KDE in order for the fix to
work.

Affected versions: 8.1, 8.2

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
