Synopsis: Moderate: kdelibs and kdelibs3 security update
Issue Date: 2011-10-19
CVE Numbers: CVE-2011-3365

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.
