CESA-2007:0905: kdebase security update
Description
Updated kdebase packages that resolve several security flaws are now available for CentOS Linux 4 and 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the CentOS Security Response Team.
The kdebase packages provide the core applications for KDE, the K Desktop Environment. These core packages include Konqueror, the web browser and file manager. These updated packages address the following vulnerabilities: Kees Huijgen found a flaw in the way KDM handled logins when autologin and "shutdown with password" were enabled. A local user would have been able to login via KDM as any user without requiring a password. (CVE-2007-4569) Two Konqueror address spoofing flaws were discovered. A malicious web site could spoof the Konqueror address bar, tricking a victim into believing the page was from a different site. (CVE-2007-3820, CVE-2007-4224) Users of KDE should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.
