Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-04 22:29:27 UTC 
CVE-2007-6591 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-6591):
  KDE Konqueror 3.5.5 and 3.95.00, when a user accepts an SSL server
  certificate on the basis of the CN domain name in the DN field, regards the
  certificate as also accepted for all domain names in subjectAltName:dNSName
  fields, even though these fields cannot be examined in the product, which
  makes it easier for remote attackers to trick a user into accepting an
  invalid certificate for a spoofed web site.

Quoting http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154921:
"completely corrected for KDE 3.5.7" 

We have 3.5.9 stable, so moving to GLSA decision. I vote NO.
Comment 2 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-09-08 14:41:32 UTC 
NO too, closing.
