Synopsis ========
Konversation contains multiple vulnerabilities that could lead to remote command execution or information leaks.
Background ==========
Konversation is a user-friendly IRC client for KDE.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-irc/konversation < 0.15.1 >= 0.15.1
Description ===========
Wouter Coekaerts has discovered three vulnerabilites within Konversation:
* The Server::parseWildcards function, which is used by the "Quick Buttons", does not properly handle variable expansion (CAN-2005-0129).
* Perl scripts included with Konversation do not properly escape shell metacharacters (CAN-2005-0130).
* The 'Nick' and 'Password' fields in the Quick Connect dialog can be easily confused (CAN-2005-0131).
Impact ======
A malicious server could create specially-crafted channels, which would exploit certain flaws in Konversation, potentially leading to the execution of shell commands. A user could also unintentionally input their password into the 'Nick' field in the Quick Connect dialog, exposing his password to IRC users, and log files.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All Konversation users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-irc/konversation-0.15.1"
