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.

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").
