Description

Konqueror contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to spoof the content of websites. Successful exploitation allows a malicious website to load arbitrary content in an arbitrary frame in another browser window owned by e.g. a trusted site.

Technical

Konqueror does not check if a target frame belongs to a website containing a malicious link, which therefore doesn't prevent one browser window from loading content in a named frame in another window. This issue exists on multiple browsers and can be exploited on Windows, Unix, OS X operating systems.

Solution

Currently, there are no known workarounds or upgrades to correct this issue. However, KDE has released a patches for Konqueror to address this vulnerability.
