1. Systems affected:

All versions of KDE up to KDE 3.3.2 inclusive.=20


2. Overview:

The Konqueror webbrowser allows websites to load webpages into
a window or tab currently used by another website.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CAN-2004-1158 to this issue.

This vulnerability is similar to the Konqueror Frame Injection
Vulnerability reported on 2004-08-11 but the solution offered
as part of that advisory did not cover the window case.

3. Impact:

A malicious website could abuse Konquer to load its own content
into a window or tab that was opened by a trusted website or
it could trick a trusted website into loading content into an
existing window or tab. This may be abused to confuse the user
about the origin of a certain webpage. As a result the user may
unknowingly send confidential information intended for the trusted
website to the malicious website.
