Red Hat: 2011:1385-01 Moderate Advisory for Kdelibs SSL Security Issue

red hat
Calendar Grey October 19, 2011
Dist Redhat Esm H88
Debian's urgent notification for gtk+ and gtk3 highlights a serious vulnerability in network protocols. System updates are advised for those impacted.
Updated kdelibs packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5 and updated kdelibs3 packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 that fix one security issue are now available

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259

Summary

The kdelibs and kdelibs3 packages provide libraries for the K Desktop Environment (KDE).
An input sanitization flaw was found in the KSSL (KDE SSL Wrapper) API. An attacker could supply a specially-crafted SSL certificate (for example, via a web page) to an application using KSSL, such as the Konqueror web browser, causing misleading information to be presented to the user, possibly tricking them into accepting the certificate as valid. (CVE-2011-3365)
Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. The desktop must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this update to take effect.
