Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kdelibs (MDKSA-2007:054)

high Nessus Plugin ID 24804

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

ecma/kjs_html.cpp in KDE JavaScript (KJS), as used in Konqueror, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by accessing the content of an iframe with an ftp:// URI in the src attribute, probably due to a NULL pointer dereference.

Updated packages have been patched to address this issue.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
