Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1842-1
May 29, 2013
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
Summary:
KDE-Libs could be made to expose web credentials.
Software Description:
Details:
It was discovered that KIO would sometimes display web authentication
credentials under certain error conditions. If a user were tricked into
opening a specially crafted web page, an attacker could potentially exploit
this to expose confidential information.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 13.04:
libkio5 4:4.10.2-0ubuntu2.2
Ubuntu 12.10:
libkio5 4:4.9.5-0ubuntu0.2
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libkio5 4:4.8.5-0ubuntu0.2
After a standard system update you need to restart any applications that
use KIO from KDE-Libs, such as Konqueror, to make all the necessary changes.
