Description:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Konqueror, which can be exploited by malicious web sites to spoof dialog boxes.
Inactive tabs can launch dialog boxes so they appear to be displayed by a web site in another tab. This can be exploited by a malicious web site to show a dialog box, which seems to originate from a trusted web site.
Successful exploitation would normally require that a user is tricked into opening a link from a malicious web site to a trusted web site in a new tab.
A test is available here:
http://secunia.com/multiple_browsers_dialog_box_spoofing_test/
The vulnerability has been confirmed in Konqueror 3.2.2-6. Other versions may also be vulnerable.
Solution:
The vendor reports that the vulnerability has been fixed in KDE 3.3.1.
Provided and/or discovered by:
Jakob Balle, Secunia Research.
