The CSS parser (khtml/css/cssparser.cpp) in Konqueror in KDE 4.7.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly read memory via a crafted font face source, related to "type confusion."

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201406-31 (Konqueror: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Konqueror. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted web       site using Konqueror, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary       code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition   Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

This update of kdelibs fixed various memory corruption vulnerabilities.

On openSUSE 12.1 a akregator crash on closing tab was fixed.

This kdelibs4 update fixes several security issues related to khtml/konqueror.

  - Fix security issues and NULL pointer references in     khtml/konqueror (bnc#787520) (CVE-2012-4512 /     CVE-2012-4513 / CVE-2012-4515)

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2012-1418 advisory.

    - Resolves: bz#866230, CVE-2012-4512 CVE-2012-4513

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Updated kdelibs packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having critical security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

The kdelibs packages provide libraries for the K Desktop Environment (KDE). Konqueror is a web browser.

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) parser in kdelibs parsed the location of the source for font faces. A web page containing malicious content could cause an application using kdelibs (such as Konqueror) to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2012-4512)

A heap-based buffer over-read flaw was found in the way kdelibs calculated canvas dimensions for large images. A web page containing malicious content could cause an application using kdelibs to crash or disclose portions of its memory. (CVE-2012-4513)

Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. The desktop must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this update to take effect.
