Description Flags
Untested patch against kdelibs 4.2.98 none

Description Jan Lieskovsky 2009-06-17 13:08:11 UTC
KDE's Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) parser incorrectly handled content, forming the value of CSS "style" attribute. 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 visited a specially-crafted CSS equipped HTML page.

Comment 14 Kevin Kofler 2009-07-25 22:48:13 UTC
This also affects kdelibs3 3.5.10 in Fedora. I was unable to verify whether kdelibs 4.2.4 is affected too because the code is significantly different.

Comment 15 Kevin Kofler 2009-07-25 23:14:52 UTC
(Note that if KDE 4 is still affected, then this is NOT fixed in KDE trunk. The WebKit patch and the KDE 3 patch are very different from each other, and in both cases the patched code is very different from the KDE 4 code.)

Comment 16 Kevin Kofler 2009-07-26 00:08:22 UTC
For QtWebKit, this is fixed in Qt 4.5.2 which got pushed to Fedora updates recently. I didn't check earlier versions.

Comment 17 Kevin Kofler 2009-07-26 01:11:48 UTC
The reproducer also reports FAILURE in KDE 4.2.4's Konqueror. Looks like this is still unfixed in KDE 4.

Comment 18 Kevin Kofler 2009-07-26 01:18:52 UTC
Looks like I can port the KDE 3 fix.
