Synopsis
========
An input sanitization flaw in Konsole might allow remote attackers to
execute commands via a malicious URL
Background
==========
Konsole is KDE's terminal emulator.
Affected packages
=================
Package Vulnerable Unaffected
---------------- ------------ -------------
kde-apps/konsole < 24.12.3-r1 >= 24.12.3-r1
Description
===========
Konsole supports loading URLs from the scheme handlers such as
telnet://URL. This can be executed regardless of whether the telnet
binary is available. It would fallback to bash in that case and execute
arbitrary code.
Impact
======
Clicking a malicious URL in a browser may lead to arbitrary code
execution. Please review the referenced CVE identifier for details.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Konsole users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=kde-apps/konsole-24.12.3-r1"
