============================================================================ Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1842-1 May 29, 2013 kde4libs vulnerability ============================================================================ A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 13.04 - Ubuntu 12.10 - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Summary: KDE-Libs could be made to expose web credentials. Software Description: - kde4libs: KDE 4 core applications and libraries 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.
