From Red Hat Security Advisory 2009:1128 :

Updated kdelibs packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

The kdelibs packages provide libraries for the K Desktop Environment (KDE).

A flaw was found in the way the KDE CSS parser handled content for the CSS 'style' attribute. A remote attacker could create a specially crafted CSS equipped HTML page, which once visited by an unsuspecting user, could cause a denial of service (Konqueror crash) or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Konqueror. (CVE-2009-1698)

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.

This update fixes several security issues in the KDE 3 compatibility version of KHTML (CVE-2009-1725, CVE-2009-1690, CVE-2009-1687, CVE-2009-1698, CVE-2009-2537) which may lead to a denial of service or potentially even arbitrary code execution. In addition, the package was fixed to build with the latest version of automake, and the following fixes and improvements were merged from the Fedora 11 package: * slight speedup to /etc/profile.d/kde.sh,

  - fixed unowned directories, * fixed harmless (as the file     contents match) file conflicts with KDE 4.2.x, * fixed     build with GCC 4.4 (but this package is built with     Fedora 10's GCC 4.3.2), * moved Qt Designer plugins to     the runtime package as they can be needed at runtime     (e.g. by PyKDE programs), * kdelibs3-apidocs is now a     noarch subpackage.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in WebKit, a Web content engine library for Gtk+. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2009-0945     Array index error in the insertItemBefore method in     WebKit, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary     code via a document with a SVGPathList data structure     containing a negative index in the SVGTransformList,     SVGStringList, SVGNumberList, SVGPathSegList,     SVGPointList, or SVGLengthList SVGList object, which     triggers memory corruption.

  - CVE-2009-1687     The JavaScript garbage collector in WebKit does not     properly handle allocation failures, which allows remote     attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of     service (memory corruption and application crash) via a     crafted HTML document that triggers write access to an     'offset of a NULL pointer.'

  - CVE-2009-1690     Use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit, allows remote     attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of     service (memory corruption and application crash) by     setting an unspecified property of an HTML tag that     causes child elements to be freed and later accessed     when an HTML error occurs, related to 'recursion in     certain DOM event handlers.'

  - CVE-2009-1698     WebKit does not initialize a pointer during handling of     a Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) attr function call with a     large numerical argument, which allows remote attackers     to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service     (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted     HTML document.

  - CVE-2009-1711     WebKit does not properly initialize memory for Attr DOM     objects, which allows remote attackers to execute     arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application     crash) via a crafted HTML document.

  - CVE-2009-1712     WebKit does not prevent remote loading of local Java     applets, which allows remote attackers to execute     arbitrary code, gain privileges, or obtain sensitive     information via an APPLET or OBJECT element.

  - CVE-2009-1725     WebKit do not properly handle numeric character     references, which allows remote attackers to execute     arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory     corruption and application crash) via a crafted HTML     document.

  - CVE-2009-1714     Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Web     Inspector in WebKit allows user-assisted remote     attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML, and     read local files, via vectors related to the improper     escaping of HTML attributes.

  - CVE-2009-1710     WebKit allows remote attackers to spoof the browser's     display of the host name, security indicators, and     unspecified other UI elements via a custom cursor in     conjunction with a modified CSS3 hotspot property.

  - CVE-2009-1697     CRLF injection vulnerability in WebKit allows remote     attackers to inject HTTP headers and bypass the Same     Origin Policy via a crafted HTML document, related to     cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks that depend on     communication with arbitrary websites on the same server     through use of XMLHttpRequest without a Host header.

  - CVE-2009-1695     Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in WebKit     allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script     or HTML via vectors involving access to frame contents     after completion of a page transition.

  - CVE-2009-1693     WebKit allows remote attackers to read images from     arbitrary websites via a CANVAS element with an SVG     image, related to a 'cross-site image capture issue.'

  - CVE-2009-1694     WebKit does not properly handle redirects, which allows     remote attackers to read images from arbitrary websites     via vectors involving a CANVAS element and redirection,     related to a 'cross-site image capture issue.'

  - CVE-2009-1681     WebKit does not prevent websites from loading     third-party content into a subframe, which allows remote     attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and conduct     'clickjacking' attacks via a crafted HTML document.

  - CVE-2009-1684     Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in WebKit     allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script     or HTML via an event handler that triggers script     execution in the context of the next loaded document.

  - CVE-2009-1692     WebKit allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (memory consumption or device reset) via a web     page containing an HTMLSelectElement object with a large     length attribute, related to the length property of a     Select object.
