CVE-2006-0019
1. Systems affected:
KDE 3.2.0 up to including KDE 3.5.0
2. Overview:
Maksim Orlovich discovered an incorrect bounds check in kjs,
the JavaScript interpreter engine used by Konqueror and other
parts of KDE, that allows a heap based buffer overflow
when decoding specially crafted UTF-8 encoded URI sequences.
3. Impact:
Remotely supplied Javascript code can perform a heap overflow
and crash the web browser or execute arbitrary code.
4. Solution:
Source code patches have been made available which fix these
vulnerabilities. Contact your OS vendor / binary package provider
for information about how to obtain updated binary packages.
5. Patch:
Patch for KDE 3.4.0 - 3.5.0 is available from
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/security_patches :
