Dear community, I found a strange behaviour with konqueror (does anyone use it?) and I believe it is either a bug or a security problem.
the problem is the following: I discovered, that my network card is doing a lot of traffic, although I did nothing with my computer (heavy blinking of my traffic led). Using etherape and wireshark, I could prove, that there is really a lot of traffic from my computer into the internet. However, I could not see, what content it was. At last I found out, that a process called "konqueror" (which is of course the browser) caused this heavy traffic. BUT konqueror was already safely ended by me! Further testings prove, that this behaviour appears from time to time. It also appears, that this behaviour only happens on certain websites. These are www.heise.de and youtube.com, but maybe others not. As I do not know, if it is just broadcast traffic or real content, we should have an eye on it. Maybe somebody else can confirm this or saw this in the past. If it is a bug, maybe it coud be fixed, but if it is a security hole, and others can confirm this behaviour, too, this should be fixed as fast as possible. Thank you for your attention! Best regards Hans
