| Summary: | Redhat Security Advisory RHSA-2003:236 |
| Description: | The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2003:236. KDE is a graphical desktop environment for the X Window System. Konqueror is the file manager for the K Desktop Environment. George Staikos reported that Konqueror may inadvertently send authentication credentials to websites other than the intended website in clear text via the HTTP-referer header. This can occur when authentication credentials are passed as part of a URL in the form http://user:password@host/ Users of Konqueror are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain a backported security patch correcting this issue. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network.
