You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Debian -- Security Information Martin Schulze September 16th, 2002 Debian -- Debian security FAQ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : Konquerer Vulnerability : cross site scripting Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no Upstream URL : kde A cross site scripting problem has been discovered in Konquerer, a famous browser for KDE and other programs using KHTML. The KDE team reports that Konqueror's cross site scripting protection fails to initialize the domains on sub-(i)frames correctly. As a result, Javascript is able to access any foreign subframe which is defined in the HTML source. Users of Konqueror and other KDE software that uses the KHTML rendering engine may become victim of a cookie stealing and other cross site scripting attacks. This problem has been fixed in version 2.2.2-13.woody.3 for the current stable distribution (woody) and in version 2.2.2-14 for the unstable distribution (sid). The old stable distribution (potato) is not affected since it didn't ship KDE. We recommend that you upgrade your kdelibs package and restart Konquerer. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
