The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200703-10 (KHTML: XSS (XSS) vulnerability)
The KHTML code allows for the execution of JavaScript code located inside the 'Title' HTML element, a related issue to the Safari error found by Jose Avila.
Impact :
When viewing a HTML page that renders unsanitized attacker-supplied input in the page title, Konqueror and other parts of KDE will execute arbitrary JavaScript code contained in the page title, allowing for the theft of browser session data or cookies.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
