Ubuntu 5.10 / 6.06 LTS / 6.10 : kdelibs vulnerability (USN-420-1)

low Nessus Plugin ID 28012

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Jose Avila III and Robert Tasarz discovered that the KDE HTML library did not correctly parse HTML comments inside the 'title' tag. By tricking a Konqueror user into visiting a malicious website, an attacker could bypass cross-site scripting protections.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
