KDE Patches JavaScript Buffer Overflow Vulnerability In Its Linux Desktop Environment
KDE 3.2.0 Up to and Including 3.5.0 Affected

It emerged this week that KDE developer Maksim Orlovich (pictured) had discovered an incorrect bounds check in kjs, the JavaScript interpreter engine used by Konqueror and other parts of KDE, that allows a heap based buffer overflow when decoding specially crafted UTF-8 encoded URI sequences. According to KDE.org source code patches have already been made available which fix these vulnerabilities.

Earlier this month, a number of integer overflows affecting KPDF, and consequentially KOffice were found and fixed. KDE users and developers are invited to report any possible security problems to security@kde.org. KDE.org says it will then be able to investigate the problem.
