Detail

Maksim Orlovich discovered that the kjs Javascript interpreter, used in the Konqueror web browser and in other parts of KDE, performs insufficient bounds checking when parsing UTF-8 encoded Uniform Resource Identifiers, which may lead to a heap based buffer overflow and the execution of arbitrary code.

The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by this problem.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 3.3.2-6.4

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your kdelibs package.

Id Description
22659 KDE kjs UTF-8 Encoded URI Processing Overflow

A remote overflow exists in KDE. "kjs" fails to perform correct boundary checking when decoding UTF8-encoded javascript resulting in a heap overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitreaty code resulting in a loss of integrity.
