DESCRIPTION:
Nth Dimension has reported multiple vulnerabilities in KDE, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) An error in kdelibs (khtml/css/cssparser.cpp) when parsing the
source for font faces in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.

2) An error in kdelibs (khtml/imload/scaledimageplane.h) when
calculating canvas dimensions can be exploited to cause a heap-based
buffer overflow.

3) A use-after-free error exists in kdelibs
(khtml/rendering/render_replaced.cpp ) during widget rendering for
context menus of an iframe.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of
arbitrary code.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in the source code repository.
