A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the way KHTML, the HTML layout engine used by KDE applications such as the Konqueror web browser, displayed certain error pages. A remote attacker could use this flaw to perform a cross-site scripting attack against victims by tricking them into visiting a specially crafted URL. (CVE-2011-1168)

A flaw was found in the way kdelibs checked the user specified hostname against the name in the server’s SSL certificate. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to trick an application using kdelibs into mistakenly accepting a certificate as if it was valid for the host, if that certificate was issued for an IP address to which the user specified hostname was resolved to. (CVE-2011-1094)

Note: As part of the fix for CVE-2011-1094, this update also introduces stricter handling for wildcards used in servers’ SSL certificates.

The desktop must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this update to take effect.
