Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.52943
Category:Turbolinux Local Security Tests
Title:Turbolinux TLSA-2003-36 (kdelibs)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to kdelibs
announced via advisory TLSA-2003-36.

Main libraries for the K Desktop Environment.
KDE's SSL implementation in the affected versions matches certificates
based on IP number instead of hostname. Due to this it may fail to notice
a man-in-the-middle attack.

Users of Konqueror and other SSL enabled KDE software may fall victim
to a malicious man-in-the-middle attack without noticing. In such case the
user will be under the impression that there is a secure connection with a
trusted site while in fact a different site has been connected to.

Solution: Please use the turbopkg (zabom) tool to apply the update.
