Descriptions

The KDE HTML library (kdelibs), as used by Konqueror 3.5.5, does not properly parse HTML comments, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and bypass some XSS protection schemes by embedding certain HTML tags within a comment in a title tag, a related issue to CVE-2007-0478.

La biblioteca HTML KDE (kdelibs), como es usado en Konqueror versión 3.5.5, no analiza de manera apropiada los comentarios HTML, lo que permite a los atacantes remotos conducir ataques de tipo Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) y omitir algunos esquemas de protección XSS mediante la incorporación de ciertas etiquetas HTML en un comentario en una etiqueta title, un problema relacionado con CVE-2007-0478.
