DESCRIPTION
 KDE[1] is a very popular graphical desktop environment available for
 GNU/Linux and other operating systems. 
 
 A cross site scripting vulnerability[2] has been found in the
 Konqueror browser which also affects other programs that use the same
 rendering engine (KHTML).
 
 This vulnerability could allow an attacker to steal cookies and
 perform other types of cross site scripting attacks on applications
 which use the KHTML rendering engine, such as Konqueror.
 
 The KDE team released an advisory[3] and patches to address this
 vulnerability.


SOLUTION
 All KDE users, or users of KDE applications which use the KHTML
 rendering engine, should upgrade their packages.
 
 Please note that is necessary to restart KDE (or its applications if
 another desktop is being used) to close this vulnerability.
