Detail

Raphaël Enrici discovered that the KDE screensaver can crash under certain local circumstances. This can be exploited by an attacker with physical access to the workstation to take over the desktop session.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.2-14.9.

This problem has been fixed upstream in KDE 3.0.5 and is therefore fixed in the unstable (sid) and testing (sarge) distributions already.

We recommend that you upgrade your kscreensaver package.

Title: Konqueror 3.x up to 3.2.2-6, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to spoof arbitrary web sites by injecting content from one window into a target window or tab whose name is known but resides in a different domain, as demonstrated using a pop-up window on a trusted web site, aka the "window injection" vulnerability.
Description: The KDE screen saver in KDE before 3.0.5 does not properly check the return value from a certain function call, which allows attackers with physical access to cause a crash and access the desktop session.
