Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in Konqueror, which could possibly expose username and password to another website.
The problem is that when the HTTP "REFERER" header is transmitted to a different site, the user credentials are not stripped.
E.g. the URL "http://user:pass@protected.site/" may be revealed to any site, which the user visits by clicking a link from the protected site.
