Detail

A vulnerability was discovered in KDE where the path restrictions on cookies could be bypassed using encoded relative path components (e.g., "/../"). This means that a cookie which should only be sent by the browser to an application running at /app1, the browser could inadvertently include it with a request sent to /app2 on the same server.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in kdelibs version 4:2.2.2-6woody3 and kdelibs-crypto version 4:2.2.2-13.woody.9.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem was fixed in kdelibs version 4:3.1.3-1.

We recommend that you update your kdelibs and kdelibs-crypto packages.

Title: Konqueror Cookie Access Restrictions Bypass Vulnerability
Description: Konqueror in KDE 3.1.3 and earlier (kdelibs) allows remote attackers to bypass intended cookie access restrictions on a web application via "%2e%2e" (encoded dot dot) directory traversal sequences in a URL, which causes Konqueror to send the cookie outside the specified URL subsets, e.g. to a vulnerable application that runs on the same server as the target application.
