Detail

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.
