[slackware-security] KDE packages updated (SSA:2003-213-01)
New KDE packages are available for Slackware 9.0. These address a
security issue where Konqueror may leak authentication credentials.
Here are the details from the Slackware 9.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
Fri Aug 1 15:15:51 PDT 2003
patches/packages/kde/*: Upgraded to KDE 3.1.3.
Note that this update addresses a security problem in Konqueror which may
cause authentication credentials to be leaked to an unintended website

as a URL of the form:
http://user:password@host/
For more information about this issue, please see the KDE advisory:
