Two vulnerabilities were discovered in kdelibs:
- - CAN-2003-0459: KDE Konqueror for KDE 3.1.2 and earlier does not
remove authentication credentials from URLs of the
"user:password@host" form in the HTTP-Referer header, which could
allow remote web sites to steal the credentials for pages that link
to the sites.
- - CAN-2003-0370: Konqueror Embedded and KDE 2.2.2 and earlier does not
validate the Common Name (CN) field for X.509 Certificates, which
could allow remote attackers to spoof certificates via a
man-in-the-middle attack.
These vulnerabilities are described in the following security
advisories from KDE:

For the current stable distribution (woody) these problems have been
