Description Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-06 13:00:38 UTC
Hi,

Konq 3.5.5 contains an XSS vulnerability.
Comment 1 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-06 13:01:35 UTC
Although this is minor, arches please mark stable 3.5.6 if possible, thanks.
Comment 2 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-06 13:05:12 UTC
konqueror is part of kdebase i think, so this means kdebase should go stable as well.
Question is, will kdebase-3.5.6 work without kdelibs-3.5.6?
Is it wise to just stable that part of kde-3.5.6?
Comment 3 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-06 13:09:57 UTC
Either we stable KDE 3.5.6 altogether or we need to patch konqueror/kdelibs, because Konqueror is just a frontend to khtml/kjs.
Comment 4 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-06 14:32:41 UTC
You're right, stabilizing konq is not as easy as this, i'm sorry i missed that.

So feel free to decide yourself on this issue. Since it's only an XSS, i won't be worried if you decide to wait several weeks before stabilizing it.
Comment 5 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-06 14:33:56 UTC
I'll wait on Diego's word on it, he knows if 3.5.6 is kind of ready to go or better patch the current one.
Comment 6 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-06 14:46:28 UTC
I haven't received anything on kde-packagers yet.
Does security consider this an high priority vulnerability? If that's the case, we might as well give a try, 3.5.6 didn't have regressions as far as I can see, it's just a big burden for arch teams to do this now, especially with the imminent portage snapshot for 2007.0.
Comment 7 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-06 15:17:58 UTC
The problem is limited to kdelibs, got a patch out of the SVN, I'm going to commit it as kdelibs-3.5.5-r8.

So mark stable 3.5.5-r8, i guess?

Perfect, thanks. I won't have obliged a stabilization on all KDE-3.5.6 for an XSS only :)))

Comment 18 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-10 22:13:00 UTC
hppa is missing.

please could you test and mark stable kdelibs-3.5.5-r8, thanks

Why does this happen so often? Give me some time, OK? :-\

Is that an apology or just the answer to an entirely different question? Being four days late to the party is no light matter, I can tell you.

Seeing as I will need to partly rebuild kde-3.5.5, I can start testing tomorrow afternoon and hopefully mark kdelibs early in the evening (CET).

you are not late at all, since you were CCed a few hours ago... stay calm...

Thank you,  Raphael.


...Stable for HPPA.
Comment 24 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-12 13:11:31 UTC
thanks a lot and again, sorry for we having missed you.

Do we send a GLSA? I vote a half-yes. It's a XSS "only", but it affects all KDE-based apps on all websites.
Comment 25 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-12 22:33:15 UTC
i'm actually the only active member of the security team, so i can't apply the policy telling that 2 positive votes include a GLSA. 

Let's have one half-GLSA btw :)
Comment 26 Bryan Østergaard (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-14 22:12:04 UTC
IA64 done.
Comment 27 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-11 00:52:28 UTC
finally GLSA 200703-10, sorry for the delay (but low severity)
