Can anyone confirm this?
No it was added in 4.6 or 4.7 when we ported to akonadi2 In 4.4 it didn't use *WebKit* and it didn't use same code : it used DOM:: ' try { // Create a DOM Document from the HTML source DOM::HTMLDocument doc; doc.open(); doc.write( htmlSource ); doc.close(); mIsQuotedLine = false; mIsFirstTextNodeInLine = true; processNode( doc.documentElement() ); return doc.toString().string(); } ' So for me it's just kmail > 4.6 (we released an old 4.6-akonadi) not necessary to try to fix in 4.4 I CC David if he has more infos. I hope that it helps. Security problem is that we allows to use javascript. In 4.4 we don't have it. Regards.
I'm cc'ing Laurent Montel who made the commit, and who should be able to shed some light as to when the vulnerability was introduced, and also answer Kurt's question above. Laurent, any information you can provide would be appreciated. -- Vincent Danen / Red Hat Security Response Team
