KDE : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, (Code Execution)

Multiple integer overflows in xpdf 2.0 and 3.0, and other packages that use xpdf code such as CUPS, gpdf, and kdegraphics, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code, a different set of vulnerabilities than those identified by CVE-2004-0889.

Multiple integer overflows in xpdf 3.0, and other packages that use xpdf code such as CUPS, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code, a different set of vulnerabilities than those identified by CVE-2004-0888.

Multiple vulnerabilities in fliccd, when installed setuid root as part of the kdeedu Kstars support for Instrument Neutral Distributed Interface (INDI) in KDE 3.3 to 3.3.2, allow local users and remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via stack-based buffer overflows.

Buffer overflow in the Gfx::doImage function in Gfx.cc for xpdf 3.00, and other products that share code such as tetex-bin and kpdf in KDE 3.2.x to 3.2.3 and 3.3.x to 3.3.2, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file that causes the boundaries of a maskColors array to be exceeded.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the progressive PNG Image loader (decoders/pngloader.cpp) in KHTML in KDE 4.0.x up to 4.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted image.

Buffer overflow in KMplayer 2.9.4.1433 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via a long string in a subtitle (.srt) playlist file. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

The FoFiType1::parse function in fofi/FoFiType1.cc in Xpdf 3.0.0, gpdf 2.8.2, kpdf in kdegraphics 3.3.1, and possibly other libraries and versions, does not check the return value of the getNextLine function, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PDF file with a crafted Type 1 font that can produce a negative value, leading to a signed-to-unsigned integer conversion error and a buffer overflow.

ark before 16.12.1 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an executable in an archive, related to associated applications.

Buffer overflow in DSC 3.0 parser from GSview, as used in KGhostView in KDE 1.1 and KDE 3.0.3a, may allow attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via a modified .ps (PostScript) input file.

Unknown vulnerability in the rlogin KIO subsystem (rlogin.protocol) of KDE 2.x 2.1 and later, and KDE 3.x 3.0.4 and earlier, allows local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain URL.

Unknown vulnerability in the telnet KIO subsystem (telnet.protocol) of KDE 2.x 2.1 and later allows local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain URL.

Multiple buffer overflows in LISa on KDE 2.x for 2.1 and later, and KDE 3.x before 3.0.4, allow (1) local and possibly remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the "lisa" daemon, and (2) remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain "lan://" URL.

Buffer overflow in the VCF file information reader for KDE Personal Information Management (kdepim) suite in KDE 3.1.0 through 3.1.4 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a VCF file.

The URI handlers in Konqueror for KDE 3.2.2 and earlier do not properly filter "-" characters that begin a hostname in a (1) telnet, (2) rlogin, (3) ssh, or (4) mailto URI, which allows remote attackers to manipulate the options that are passed to the associated programs, possibly to read arbitrary files or execute arbitrary code.

Multiple vulnerabilities in the RLE (run length encoding) decoders for libtiff 3.6.1 and earlier, related to buffer overflows and integer overflows, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via TIFF files.

Kommander in KDE 3.2 through KDE 3.4.0 executes data files without confirmation from the user, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Buffer overflow in the kimgio library for KDE 3.4.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PCX image file.

Multiple integer overflows in libgadu, as used in Kopete in KDE 3.2.3 to 3.4.1, ekg before 1.6rc3, GNU Gadu, CenterICQ, Kadu, and other packages, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an incoming message.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the KWord RTF importer for KOffice 1.2.0 through 1.4.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted RTF file.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the encodeURI and decodeURI functions in the kjs JavaScript interpreter engine in KDE 3.2.0 through 3.5.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted, UTF-8 encoded URI.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the read function in filters/words/msword-odf/wv2/src/styles.cpp in the Microsoft import filter in KOffice 2.3.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted ODF style in an ODF document. NOTE: this is the same vulnerability as CVE-2012-3456, but it was SPLIT by the CNA even though Calligra and KOffice share the same codebase.

Integer overflow in the KPresenter import filter for Microsoft PowerPoint files (filters/olefilters/lib/klaola.cc) in KOffice before 1.6.1 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PPT file, which results in a heap-based buffer overflow.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the RLE decompression functionality in the TranscribePalmImageToJPEG function in generators/plucker/inplug/image.cpp in Okular in KDE SC 4.3.0 through 4.5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted image in a PDB file.

The FoFiType1::parse function in fofi/FoFiType1.cc in the PDF parser in xpdf before 3.02pl5, poppler 0.8.7 and possibly other versions up to 0.15.1, kdegraphics, and possibly other products allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a PDF file with a crafted PostScript Type1 font that contains a negative array index, which bypasses input validation and triggers memory corruption.

Use-after-free vulnerability in khtml/rendering/render_replaced.cpp in Konqueror in KDE 4.7.3, when the context menu is shown, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by accessing an iframe when it is being updated.
