  A flaw was found in the way the KDE CSS parser handled content for the
  CSS 'style' attribute. A remote attacker could create a specially-crafted
  CSS equipped HTML page, which once visited by an unsuspecting user, could
  cause a denial of service (Konqueror crash) or, potentially, execute
  arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Konqueror.

  A flaw was found in the way the KDE HTML parser handled content for the
  HTML 'head' element. A remote attacker could create a specially-crafted
  HTML page, which once visited by an unsuspecting user, could cause a denial
  of service (Konqueror crash) or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with

  An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was

  allocation requests. A remote attacker could create a specially-crafted

  of service (Konqueror crash) or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with
  the privileges of the user running Konqueror. (CVE-2009-1687)
