Vulnerability title: Insufficient Input Validation By IO Slaves In KDE e.V. KDE
CVE: CVE-2014-8600
Vendor: KDE e.V.
Product: KDE
Affected version: kwebkitpart <= 1.3.4, kde-runtime <= 4.14.3, kio-extras <= 5.1.1
Fixed version: Contact distribution vendor
Reported by: T. Brown and D. Burton
Details:
Whilst investigating how KDE handles custom protocols, it was discovered that a number of the protocol handlers (referred to as IO slaves) did not satisfactorily handle malicious input. It is possible for an attacker to inject JavaScript by manipulating IO slave URI such that the JavaScript from the manipulated request is returned in the response. Example IO slaves that trigger this behaviour include:
zip
trash
tar
thumbnail
smtps
smtp
smb
remote
recentdocuments
nntps
nntp
network
mbox
ldaps
ldap
fonts
file
desktop
cgi
bookmarks
ar
The following code will trigger all vulnerable IO slaves:
for x in /usr/share/kde4/services/*.
done
