<title>Konqueror: Java sandbox vulnerabilities</title>
|

Konqueror contains two errors that allow JavaScript scripts and Java
|
|
applets to have access to restricted Java classes.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could embed a malicious Java applet in a web page and
|
|
entice a victim to view it. This applet can then bypass security
|
|
restrictions and execute any command, or access any file with the
|
|
rights of the user running Konqueror.

<workaround>
|

<p>
|

There is no known workaround at this time.

All kdelibs users should upgrade to the latest version:
|

</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose kde-base/kdelibs</code>
