Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51647
Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2005:065
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2005:065.

The kdelibs packages include libraries for the K Desktop Environment.

Two flaws were found in the sandbox environment used to run Java-applets in
the Konqueror web browser. If a user has Java enabled in Konqueror and
visits a malicious website, the website could run a carefully crafted
Java-applet and obtain escalated privileges allowing reading and writing of
arbitrary files with the privileges of the victim. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CVE-2004-1145 to this issue.

A flaw was discovered in the FTP kioslave. KDE applications such as
Konqueror could be forced to execute arbitrary FTP commands via a carefully
crafted ftp URL. The URL could also be crafted in such a way as to send an
arbitrary email via SMTP. An attacker could make use of this flaw if a
victim visits a malicious web site. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project has assigned the name CVE-2004-1165 to this issue.

Users should update to these erratum packages which contain backported
patches to correct these issues.
