Updates
Security Issues
Please report possible problems to security@kde.org.
- Several problems with KDE's use of Ghostscript where discovered that allow the execution of arbitrary commands contained in PostScript (PS) or PDF files with the privileges of the victim. Read the detailed advisory. KDE 3.0.5b has been released to address this problem. It is strongly recommended to update at least kdelibs, kdebase and kdegraphics to KDE 3.0.5b
- A HTTP authentication credentials leak via the a "Referrer" was discovered by George Staikos in Konqueror. If the HTTP authentication credentials were part of the URL they would be possibly sent in the referer header to a 3rd party web site. Read the detailed advisory. KDE 3.1.3 and newer are not vulnerable.
