KDE Konqueror 3.5.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via large HTTP cookie parameters.

Unspecified vulnerability in KDE Konqueror 3.5.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (failed assertion and application crash) via certain malformed HTML, as demonstrated by a document containing TEXTAREA, BUTTON, BR, BDO, PRE, FRAMESET, and A tags. NOTE: the provenance of this information is unknown; the details are obtained solely from third party information.

KDE Konqueror 3.5.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) by calling the replaceChild method on a DOM object, which triggers a null dereference, as demonstrated by calling document.replaceChild with a 0 (zero) argument.

Konqueror can associate a cookie with multiple domains when the DNS resolver has a non-root domain in its search list, which allows remote attackers to trick a user into accepting a cookie for a hostname formed via search-list expansion of the hostname entered by the user, or steal a cookie for an expanded hostname, as demonstrated by an attacker who operates an ap1.com Internet web site to steal cookies associated with an ap1.com.example.com intranet web site.

Konqueror 3.x up to 3.2.2-6, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to spoof arbitrary web sites by injecting content from one window into a target window or tab whose name is known but resides in a different domain, as demonstrated using a pop-up window on a trusted web site, aka the "window injection" vulnerability.

KDE Konqueror does not prevent cookies that are sent over an insecure channel (HTTP) from also being sent over a secure channel (HTTPS/SSL) in the same domain, which could allow remote attackers to steal cookies and conduct unauthorized activities, aka "Cross Security Boundary Cookie Injection."

Mozilla Firefox 0.9.2 allows web sites to set cookies for country-specific top-level domains, such as .ltd.uk, .plc.uk, and .sch.uk, which could allow remote attackers to perform a session fixation attack and hijack a user's HTTP session. NOTE: it was later reported that 2.x is also affected.

Internet Explorer 6.0 allows web sites to set cookies for country-specific top-level domains, such as .ltd.uk, .plc.uk, and .sch.uk, which could allow remote attackers to perform a session fixation attack and hijack a user's HTTP session.

Konqueror in KDE 3.2.3 and earlier allows web sites to set cookies for country-specific top-level domains, such as .ltd.uk, .plc.uk and .firm.in, which could allow remote attackers to perform a session fixation attack and hijack a user's HTTP session.

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.
