Debian Security Advisory DSA 155-1                     security@debian.org

--------------------------------------------------------------------------



Package        : kdelibs

Vulnerability  : privacy escalation with Konquerer

Problem-Type   : remote and local

Debian-specific: no



Due to a security engineering oversight, the SSL library from KDE,

which Konqueror uses, doesn't check whether an intermediate

certificate for a connection is signed by the certificate authority as

safe for the purpose, but accepts it when it is signed.  This makes it

possible for anyone with a valid VeriSign SSL site certificate to

forge any other VeriSign SSL site certificate, and abuse Konqueror

users.



A local root exploit using artsd has been discovered which exploited

an insecure use of a format string.  The exploit wasn't working on a

Debian system since artsd wasn't running setuid root.  Neither artsd

nor artswrapper need to be setuid root anymore since current computer

systems are fast enuogh to handle the audio data in time.



Theese problems have been fixed in version 2.2.2-13.woody.2 for the

current stable stable distribution (woody).  The old stable

distribution (potato) is not affected, since it doesn't contain KDE

packages.  The unstable distribution (sid) is not yet fixed, but new

packages are expected in the future, the fixed version will be version

2.2.2-14 or higher.



We recommend that you upgrade your kdelibs and libarts packages and

restart Konquerer.



wget url

	will fetch the file for you

dpkg -i file.deb

        will install the referenced file.



If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for

sources.list as given below:



apt-get update

        will update the internal database

apt-get upgrade

        will install corrected packages



You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the

footer to the proper configuration.

  Please note that the kdelibs source package produces more binary

  packages than the ones listed above, which are note relevant for the

  fixed problems, though.



  These files will probably be moved into the stable distribution on

  its next revision.
