TITLE:
Konqueror Download Dialog Source Spoofing

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA13717

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/13717/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Spoofing

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
Konqueror 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/3166/

DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Konqueror, which
can be exploited by malicious people to spoof the source displayed in
the Download Dialog box.

The problem is that long sub-domains and paths aren't displayed
correctly, which therefore can be exploited to obfuscate what is
being displayed in the source field and title bar of the Download
Dialog box.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in Konqueror versions 3.2.2 and
3.3.1. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not follow download links from untrusted sources.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Jakob Balle, Secunia Research.
