USN-452-1: KDE library vulnerability
11 April 2007
KDE library vulnerability
Releases
Details
The Qt library did not correctly handle truncated UTF8 strings, which
could cause some applications to incorrectly filter malicious strings.
If a Konqueror user were tricked into visiting a web site containing
specially crafted strings, normal XSS prevention could be bypassed
allowing a remote attacker to steal confidential data.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 6.10
-
libqt3-mt
-
3:3.3.6-3ubuntu3.1
-
kdelibs4c2a
-
