Subject: MDKSA-2004:022 - Updated kdelibs packages fix cookie theft vulnerability
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________
Package name: kdelibs
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:022
Date: March 10th, 2004
Affected versions: 9.1
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Corsaire discovered that a number of HTTP user agents contained a flaw
in how they handle cookies. This flaw could allow an attacker to
avoid the path restrictions specified by a cookie's originator.
According to their advisory:
"The cookie specifications detail a path argument that can be used to
restrict the areas of a host that will be exposed to a cookie. By
using standard traversal techniques this functionality can be
subverted, potentially exposing the cookie to scrutiny and use in
further attacks."
This issue was fixed in KDE 3.1.3; the updated packages are patched to
protect against this vulnerability.
