Description

This issue does NOT affect the version of the kdelibs package, as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. This issue affects the versions of the kdelibs package, as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5. This issue has been addressed in following products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Via RHSA-2009:1127 https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-1127.html This also affects kdelibs3 3.5.10 and appears to affect kdelibs 4.2.4 in Fedora. (Note that this is NOT fixed in KDE trunk.) For QtWebKit, this is fixed in Qt 4.5.2 which got pushed to Fedora updates recently. I didn't check earlier versions. Unfortunately, the WebKit patch, while fixing the integer overflow, still allows DoSing the browser, it just aborts if it would overflow. :-( Created attachment 355170 [details]
Untested patch against kdelibs 4.2.98
Here's an untested patch against kdelibs 4.2.98. Like the WebKit patch, this just crashes if we would overflow. IMHO, doing things right would mean throwing an error somehow, but I don't understand the code well enough to do that.
