A flaw was found in KDE JavaScript implementation. A web page containing malicious JavaScript code could cause Konqueror to crash. (CVE-2007-1308)
A flaw was found in the way Konqueror handled certain FTP PASV commands. A malicious FTP server could use this flaw to perform a rudimentary port-scan of machines behind a user's firewall. (CVE-2007-1564)
Two Konqueror address spoofing flaws have been discovered. It was possible for a malicious website to cause the Konqueror address bar to display information which could trick a user into believing they are at a different website than they actually are. (CVE-2007-3820, CVE-2007-4224)
Users of KDE should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.
