Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1110-1

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1110-1
Posted Apr 15, 2011
Authored by Ubuntu | Site security.ubuntu.com

Ubuntu Security Notice 1110-1 - It was discovered that KDE KSSL did not properly verify X.509 certificates when the certificate was issued for an IP address. An attacker could exploit this to perform a man in the middle attack to view sensitive information or alter encrypted communications. Tim Brown discovered that KDE KHTML did not properly escape URLs from externally generated error pages. An attacker could exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting attacks. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server request, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data (such as passwords), within the same domain.
