CAN-2004-0746 Konqueror Cross-Domain Cookie Injection
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:46 EST
1. Systems affected: All versions of KDE up to KDE 3.2.3 inclusive. 2. Overview: WESTPOINT internet reconnaissance services alerted the KDE security team that the KDE web browser Konqueror allows websites to set cookies for certain country specific secondary top level domains. 3. Impact: Web sites operating under the affected domains can set HTTP cookies in such a way that the Konqueror web browser will send them to all other web sites operating under the same domain. A malicious website can use this as part of a session fixation attack. See e.g. http://www.acros.si/papers/session_fixation.pdf Affected are all country specific secondary top level domains that use more than 2 characters in the secondary part of the domain name and that use a secondary part other than com, net, mil, org, gov, edu or int. Examples of affected domains are .ltd.uk, .plc.uk and .firm.in It should be noted that popular domains such as .co.uk, .co.in and .com are NOT affected. Embargoed until Aug 20 Should also affect FC1

I've updated the information for these three patches below. I though bugzilla would show the filename in the comment automagically. Sorry about that.
public, removing embargo.
it's fixed in kdelibs-3.1.3-6.6 and kdebase-3.1.3-5.4
Bressers, i'm building kdelibs/kdebase for fc1/fc2 update. Could i push both out?
