Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:130
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : kdelibs
Date : July 20, 2006
Affected: 2006.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

KDE Konqueror 3.5.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial
of service (application crash) by calling the replaceChild method on a
DOM object, which triggers a null dereference, as demonstrated by calling
document.replaceChild with a 0 (zero) argument.

This issue does not affect Corporate 3.0.

Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
