Mandriva: Updated kdelibs packages to address DoS issue in KDE Javascript Print E-mail
User Rating:      How can I rate this item?
Posted by Benjamin D. Thomas   
Mandrake ecma/kjs_html.cpp in KDE JavaScript (KJS), as used in Konqueror, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by accessing the content of an iframe with an ftp:// URI in the src attribute, probably due to a NULL pointer dereference. Updated packages have been patched to address this issue.
