Description Warren Togami 2002-04-28 08:58:22 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper: 
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.0.0-9; Linux) 
 
Description of problem: 
When surfing to a certain site with links to my local filesystem, Konqueror 
gets stuck with a dialogue "Security Alert - Konqueror   This untrusted page 
contains a link file:/D%7C/%A4u%A7%40/web/newvia2/images/banner/networking.swf 
to your local file system."  
 
When you click OK it only displays the dialogue again.  It is impossible to 
navigate away or close the window.  Must xkill to make it go away.  
 
I copied the offending site to my web server.  I suggest opening this in a New 
Window:  
http://www.mplug.org/archive/2002/konq_security_warn_bug/MVP4.jsp.html 
 
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
Skipjack Beta 2 
KDE 3.0.0-9 
 
How reproducible: 
Always 
 
Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Navigate to a web page with a link to a local file (like the URL above) 
  
 
Actual Results:   
Stuck in Security Alert loop.  Must use xkill to stop it. 
 
Expected Results:   
It should alert only once, and clicking OK should dismiss it.

I can confirm this.

Comment 2 Warren Togami 2002-05-09 08:27:09 UTC

Re-tested: Unable to confirm this bug in Red Hat Linux 7.3 at that particular URL.

mschwendt, what URL caused this for you?

Comment 3 Michael Schwendt 2002-05-13 13:43:49 UTC

Erhm, who has changed this from Skipjack-beta2 to Valhalla?

My comment on 2002-04-28 referred to Skipjack-beta2, of course, and the URL in
your report. I was also stuck in a dialog-box endless-loop.

Can't reproduce this with Valhalla.

Comment 4 Warren Togami 2002-05-13 23:27:02 UTC

Bero,

Was anything added to KDE between Skipjack 2 and Valhalla that might have fixed
this?  Just confirming.

Comment 5 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2002-05-19 18:15:26 UTC

Yes, this was fixed by updating to the post-3.0-release KDE_3_0_BRANCH in -11.
