Several security issues have been discovered in kdelibs, core libraries
from the official KDE release. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems:

  • CVE-2009-1690
    It was discovered that there is a use-after-free flaw in handling
    certain DOM event handlers. This could lead to the execution of
    arbitrary code, when visiting a malicious website.
  • CVE-2009-1698
    It was discovered that there could be an uninitialised pointer when
    handling a Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) attr function call. This could
    lead to the execution of arbitrary code, when visiting a malicious
    website.
  • CVE-2009-1687
    It was discovered that the JavaScript garbage collector does not handle
    allocation failures properly, which could lead to the execution of
    arbitrary code when visiting a malicious website.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed
in version 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-8etch2.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-0lenny2.

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
(sid), these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your kdelibs packages.
