KDE is a feature-rich graphical desktop environment for Linux and
|
|
Unix-like Operating Systems. The KDE core libraries (kdebase and
|
|
kdelibs) provide native support for many protocols. Konqueror is the
|
|
KDE web browser and filemanager.

Daniel Fabian discovered that the KDE core libraries contain a
|
|
flaw allowing password disclosure by making a link to a remote file.
|
|
When creating this link, the resulting URL contains authentication
|
|
credentials used to access the remote file (CAN 2004-1171).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Konqueror webbrowser allows websites to load webpages into a window
|
|
or tab currently used by another website (CAN-2004-1158).
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A malicious user could have access to the authentication
|
|
credentials of other users depending on the file permissions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A malicious website could use the window injection vulnerability to
|
|
load content in a window apparently belonging to another website.
