Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Critical: kdelibs security update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2009:1601-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-1601.html

Issue date: 2009-11-24

CVE Names: CVE-2009-0689

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated kdelibs packages that fix one security issue are now available for

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.

 

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red

Hat Security Response Team.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

The kdelibs packages provide libraries for the K Desktop Environment (KDE).

 

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the kdelibs string to floating point

conversion routines. A web page containing malicious JavaScript could crash

Konqueror or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of

the user running Konqueror. (CVE-2009-0689)

 

Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported

patch to correct this issue. The desktop must be restarted (log out, then

log back in) for this update to take effect.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released

errata relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use

the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259

 

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

 

539784 - CVE-2009-0689 kdelibs remote array overrun
