References http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/286290/2002-07-31/2002-08-06/0 http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/287050/2002-08-07/2002-08-13/2 1. Systems affected: All versions of KDE up to and including KDE 3.0.2 2. Overview: KDE's SSL implementation fails to check the basic constraints on certificates and as a result may accept certificates as valid that were signed by an issuer who was not authorized to do so. 3. Impact: Users of Konqueror and other SSL enabled KDE software may fall victim to a malicious man-in-the-middle attack without noticing. In such case the user will be under the impression that there is a secure connection with a trusted site while in fact a different site has been connected to. 4. Solution: Upgrade kdelibs to KDE 3.0.3. A patch for KDE 2.2.2 is available as well for users that are unable to upgrade to KDE 3. 5. Patch: A patch for KDE 2.2.2 is available from ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/security_patches : 0e0da738b276567e9ee36aa824e86124 post-2.2.2-kdelibs-kssl.diff -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux dell 2.4.18-bf2.4 #1 Fri Jun 7 06:12:37 UTC 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages kdelibs3-crypto depends on: pn kdelibs3 Not found. ii libc6 2.2.5-14 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libssl0.9.6 0.9.6g-2 SSL shared libraries ii libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 1:2.95.4-11 The GNU stdc++ library ii zlib1g 1:1.1.4-3 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information
