Description:
Albert Puigsech Galicia has reported a vulnerability in Konqueror, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct FTP command injection attacks.
The vulnerability is caused due to insufficient input validation of FTP URIs. This can be exploited by e.g. a malicious website to inject arbitrary FTP commands in a FTP session using a specially crafted pathname or username containing "%0A" and "%0D" characters.
This can further be exploited to relay mails if the URL references port 25.
The vulnerability affects version 3.3.2 and prior.
Solution:
Apply patch.
