<p>
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.

<description>
<p>
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.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All kdelibs users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=kde-base/kdelibs-3.2.3-r4&quot;</code>
<p>
All kdebase users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=kde-base/kdebase-3.2.3-r3&quot;</code>
