Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________

Package name: kdelibs
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:047
Date: May 18th, 2004

Affected versions: 10.0, 9.2
______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

A vulnerability in the Opera web browser was identified by iDEFENSE; the same type of vulnerability exists in KDE. The telnet, rlogin, ssh, and mailto URI handlers do not check for '-' at the beginning of the hostname passed, which makes it possible to pass an option to the programs started by the handlers. This can allow remote attackers to create or truncate arbitrary files.

The updated packages contain patches provided by the KDE team to fix this problem.
