Debian DLA-673-1 : kdepimlibs security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 94204

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Roland Tapken discovered that insufficient input sanitizing in KMail's plain text viewer allowed attackers the injection of HTML code. This might open the way to the exploitation of other vulnerabilities in the HTML viewer code, which is disabled by default.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 4:4.8.4-2+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your kdepimlibs packages.

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
