Detail

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in kdelibs4:

kio/kio/tcpslavebase.cpp in KDE KSSL in kdelibs before 4.6.1 does not properly verify that the server hostname matches the domain name of the subject of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority for an IP address, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-2702 (CVE-2011-1094).

Additionally it was discovered that kdelibs4 for 2009.0 was using an old private copy of the ca-bundle.crt file containing the root CA certs, this has now been resolved so that it uses the system wide and up to date /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt file last updated with the MDVSA-2011:068 advisory.

Packages for 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program. Please visit this link to learn more: http://store.mandriva.com/product_info.php?cPath=149&products_id=490

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Title: DSA-1916-1 kdelibs -- insufficient input validation
Description: Dan Kaminsky and Moxie Marlinspike discovered that kdelibs, core libraries from the official KDE release, does not properly handle a "\0" character in a domain name in the Subject Alternative Name field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority. For the oldstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-8etch3 Due to a bug in the archive system, the fix for the stable distribution , will be released as version 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-0lenny3 once it is available. For the testing distribution, and the unstable distribution , this problem has been fixed in version 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-2.1 We recommend that you upgrade your kdelibs pakcages.
