HTMLTokenizer::scriptHandler in Konqueror in KDE 3.5.9 and 3.5.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via an invalid document.load call that triggers use of a deleted object. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
KDM in KDE 3.1.3 and earlier uses a weak session cookie generation algorithm that does not provide 128 bits of entropy, which allows attackers to guess session cookies via brute force methods and gain access to the user session.
KDM in KDE 3.1.3 and earlier does not verify whether the pamsetcred function call succeeds, which may allow attackers to gain root privileges by triggering error conditions within PAM modules, as demonstrated in certain configurations of the MIT pamkrb5 module.
Konqueror Embedded and KDE 2.2.2 and earlier does not validate the Common Name (CN) field for X.509 Certificates, which could allow remote attackers to spoof certificates via a man-in-the-middle attack.
KDE 2 and KDE 3.1.1 and earlier 3.x versions allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via (1) PostScript (PS) or (2) PDF files, related to missing -dPARANOIDSAFER and -dSAFER arguments when using the kghostview Ghostscript viewer.
Buffer overflow in konqueror in KDE 2.1 through 3.0 and 3.0.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an IMG tag with large width and height attributes.
The KApplication class in the KDE 1.1.2 configuration file management capability allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files.
Buffer overflow in KDE kdesud on Linux allows local uses to gain privileges via a long DISPLAY environmental variable.
The KDE kscd program does not drop privileges when executing a program specified in a user's SHELL environmental variable, which allows the user to gain privileges by specifying an alternate program to execute.
The libmediatool library used for the KDE mediatool allows local users to create arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
KMail in KDE 1.0 provides a PGP passphrase as a command line argument to other programs, which could allow local users to obtain the passphrase and compromise the PGP keys of other users by viewing the arguments via programs that list process information, such as ps.
Vulnerability in KDE konsole allows local users to hijack or observe sessions of other users by accessing certain devices.
KDE file manager (kfm) uses a TCP server for certain file operations, which allows remote attackers to modify arbitrary files by sending a copy command to the server.
Buffer overflow in kppp in KDE allows local users to gain root access via a long PATH environmental variable.
Buffer overflow in kppp in KDE allows local users to gain root access via a long -c (accountname) command line argument.
Buffer overflow in kscreensaver in KDE klock allows local users to gain root privileges via a long HOME environmental variable.
KDE kppp allows local users to create a directory in an arbitrary location via the HOME environmental variable.
KDE klock allows local users to kill arbitrary processes by specifying an arbitrary PID in the .kss.pid file.
KDE allows local users to execute arbitrary commands by setting the KDEDIR environmental variable to modify the search path that KDE uses to locate its executables.
The Adobe PDF specification 1.3, as implemented by (a) xpdf 3.0.1 patch 2, (b) kpdf in KDE before 3.5.5, (c) poppler before 0.5.4, and other products, allows remote attackers to have an unknown impact, possibly including denial of service (infinite loop), arbitrary code execution, or memory corruption, via a PDF file with a (1) crafted catalog dictionary or (2) a crafted Pages attribute that references an invalid page tree node.
kfm as included with KDE 1.x can allow a local attacker to gain additional privileges via a symlink attack in the kfm cache directory in /tmp.
Buffer overflow in DSC 3.0 parser from GSview, as used in KGhostView in KDE 1.1 and KDE 3.0.3a, may allow attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via a modified .ps (PostScript) input file.
Directory traversal vulnerability in kpf for KDE 3.0.1 through KDE 3.0.3a allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files as the kpf user via a URL with a modified icon parameter.
Multiple buffer overflows in LISa on KDE 2.x for 2.1 and later, and KDE 3.x before 3.0.4, allow (1) local and possibly remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the "lisa" daemon, and (2) remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain "lan://" URL.
Unknown vulnerability in the telnet KIO subsystem (telnet.protocol) of KDE 2.x 2.1 and later allows local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain URL.
Unknown vulnerability in the rlogin KIO subsystem (rlogin.protocol) of KDE 2.x 2.1 and later, and KDE 3.x 3.0.4 and earlier, allows local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain URL.
Multiple vulnerabilities in KDE 2 and KDE 3.x through 3.0.5 do not quote certain parameters that are inserted into a shell command, which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via (1) URLs, (2) filenames, or (3) e-mail addresses.
Buffer overflow in LISa allows local users to gain access to a raw socket via a long LOGNAME environment variable for the resLISa daemon.
Flaw bug created to hold information about an old flaw we knew something about. For more details see the MITRE CVE description.
The cross-site scripting protection for Konqueror in KDE 2.2.2 and 3.0 through 3.0.3 does not properly initialize the domains on sub-frames and sub-iframes, which can allow remote attackers to execute script and steal cookies from subframes that are in other domains.
