Created attachment 159428 [details] Upstream patch for CVE-2007-3820 Konqueror URI spoofing Upstream patch in #c1 creates new problem, which got CVE name CVE-2007-4225. KDE security advisory targeting CVE-2007-3820, CVE-2007-4224 and CVE-2007-4225 with references to official upstream patches: http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20070816-1.txt it's only affected in RHEL-4/RHEL5, but not in RHEL-2.1 and RHEL-3 this is a low severity flaw which does not trigger the need for a security update to kde. We will fix this issue when other issues of higher severity trigger a kde security update. |
