Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2017-0079)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'kdelibs4' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0079 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'kdelibs4' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0079 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Using a malicious PAC file, and then using exfiltration methods in the PAC function FindProxyForURL() enables the attacker to expose full https URLs. This is a security issue since https URLs may contain sensitive information in the URL authentication part (user:password@host), and in the path and the query (e.g. access tokens). This attack can be carried out remotely (over the LAN) since proxy settings allow 'Detect Proxy Configuration Automatically'. This setting uses WPAD to retrieve the PAC file, and an attacker who has access to the victim's LAN can interfere with the WPAD protocols (DHCP/DNS+HTTP) and inject his/her own malicious PAC instead of the legitimate one Affected Software/OS: 'kdelibs4' package(s) on Mageia 5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
