Scientific Linux Security Update : kdelibs on SL3.x i386/x86_64

high Nessus Plugin ID 60605

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

A flaw was found in the way the KDE CSS parser handled content for the CSS 'style' attribute. A remote attacker could create a specially crafted CSS equipped HTML page, which once visited by an unsuspecting user, could cause a denial of service (Konqueror crash) or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Konqueror. (CVE-2009-1698)

The desktop must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this update to take effect.

Solution

Update the affected kdelibs and / or kdelibs-devel packages.
