+ <title>KDE URI Handler Vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Vulnerabilities in KDE URI handlers makes your system vulnerable to various
+ attacks.

+ <affected>
+ <package name="kde-base/kdelibs" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">3.2.2-r1</unaffected>

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ The K Desktop Environment (KDE) is a powerful Free Software graphical
+ desktop environment. KDE makes use of URI handlers to trigger various
+ programs when specific URLs are received.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The telnet, rlogin, ssh and mailto URI handlers in KDE do not check for '-'
+ at the beginning of the hostname passed. By crafting a malicious URI and
+ entice an user to click on it, it is possible to pass an option to the
+ programs started by the handlers (typically telnet, kmail...).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ If the attacker controls the options passed to the URI handling programs,
+ it becomes possible for example to overwrite arbitrary files (possibly
+ leading to denial of service), to open kmail on an attacker-controlled
+ remote display or with an alternate configuration file (possibly leading to
+ control of the user account).
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time. All users are advised to upgrade
+ to a corrected version of kdelibs.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ Users of KDE 3.1 should upgrade to the corrected version of kdelibs:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "=kde-base/kdelibs-3.1.5-r1"
+ # emerge "=kde-base/kdelibs-3.1.5-r1"</code>
+ <p>
+ Users of KDE 3.2 should upgrade to the latest available version of kdelibs:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv ">=kde-base/kdelibs-3.2.2-r1"
+ # emerge ">=kde-base/kdelibs-3.2.2-r1"</code>
