Fedora 10 : kdelibs3-3.5.10-13.fc10.1 (2009-9400)

high Nessus Plugin ID 40896

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update fixes CVE-2009-2702, a security issue where SSL certificates containing embedded NUL characters would falsely pass validation when they're actually invalid, for the KDE 3 compatibility version of kdelibs.

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

Solution

Update the affected kdelibs3 package.
