The remote host is missing an update to kdelibs announced via advisory DSA 361-1.

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in kdelibs: - - CVE-2003-0459: KDE Konqueror for KDE 3.1.2 and earlier does not remove authentication credentials from URLs of the 'user:password@host' form in the HTTP-Referer header, which could allow remote web sites to steal the credentials for pages that link to the sites. - - CVE-2003-0370: Konqueror Embedded and KDE 2.2.2 and earlier does not validate the Common Name (CN) field for X.509 Certificates, which could allow remote attackers to spoof certificates via a man-in-the-middle attack. These vulnerabilities are described in the following security advisories from KDE: http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20030729-1.txt http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20030602-1.txt For the current stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.2-13.woody.8.
