DESCRIPTION:
Tim Brown has reported a vulnerability in KDE Konqueror, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

The vulnerability is caused due to the "KHTMLPart::htmlError()"
function in khtml/khtml_part.cpp not properly sanitising the URL
displayed via the error page. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context
of an arbitrary site if the domain cannot be resolved.

The vulnerability is reported in KDE SC versions 4.6.1 and prior.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches. See vendor's advisory for additional details.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Tim Brown, Nth Dimension.
