Description

KDE contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to conduct session fixation attacks. The issue is triggered when a remote attacker sets cookies for the websites of certain country-specific secondary top-level domains, which will fix a session by setting a known session ID in a cookie. It is possible that the flaw may allow a session hijacking, resulting in a loss of integrity.

Classification

Location: Remote/Network Access Required
Attack Type: Other
Impact: Loss of Integrity
Exploit: Exploit Unknown
Disclosure: OSVDB Verified

Technical

Successful exploitation may allow a session to be hijacked, but requires that the domain does not end in ".com", ".net", ".mil", ".org", ".gov", ".edu", nor ".int" and the secondary part has more than two characters (e.g. ".plc.uk").

Solution

Currently, there are no known workarounds or upgrades to correct this issue. However, KDE has released a patch to address this vulnerability.
