CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2006:0720-01

The kdelibs package provides libraries for the K Desktop Environment (KDE).
Qt is a GUI software toolkit for the X Window System.

An integer overflow flaw was found in the way Qt handled pixmap images.
The KDE khtml library uses Qt in such a way that untrusted parameters could
be passed to Qt, triggering the overflow. An attacker could for example
create a malicious web page that when viewed by a victim in the Konqueror
browser would cause Konqueror to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code
with the privileges of the victim. (CVE-2006-4811)

Users of KDE should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch to correct this issue.

Merged security bulletin from advisories:

Affected packages:
