  <title>Konqueror: Java sandbox vulnerabilities</title>
  <synopsis>
    The Java sandbox environment in Konqueror can be bypassed to access
    arbitrary packages, allowing untrusted Java applets to perform unrestricted
    actions on the host system.
  </synopsis>
  <product type="ebuild">Konqueror, kde, kdelibs</product>

  <affected>
    <package name="kde-base/kdelibs" auto="yes" arch="*">

  <background>
    <p>
    KDE is a feature-rich graphical desktop environment for Linux and
    Unix-like Operating Systems. Konqueror is the KDE web browser and file
    manager.

  <description>
    <p>
    Konqueror contains two errors that allow JavaScript scripts and Java
    applets to have access to restricted Java classes.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could embed a malicious Java applet in a web page and
    entice a victim to view it. This applet can then bypass security
    restrictions and execute any command, or access any file with the
    rights of the user running Konqueror.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All kdelibs users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose kde-base/kdelibs</code>
  </resolution>
