Description Jan Lieskovsky 2009-06-16 11:12:19 UTC

A pointer use-after-free flaw was found in the KDE's KSVG Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) animation element implementation. A remote attacker
could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (konqueror crash) or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code, with the privileges of the user
running "konqueror" web browser, if the victim was tricked to open
a specially-crafted SVG image.

Comment 12 Kevin Kofler 2009-07-25 23:26:53 UTC

This one appears NOT to affect the KDE 4 code in kdelibs/khtml/svg. The WebKit flaw got fixed in April 2008, the SVG code was imported from there to kdelibs (KHTML) in October 2008.

Comment 13 Kevin Kofler 2009-07-26 00:11:19 UTC

For QtWebKit, this apparently got fixed ages ago too. It's definitely fixed in Qt 4.5.2 which got pushed to Fedora updates recently. I didn't check earlier versions.
