kdelibs is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MitM). The vulnerability exists as 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.
