Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for kde4libs some time ago.
CVE-2009-2702[0]:
| KDE KSSL in kdelibs 3.5.4, 4.2.4, and 4.3 does not properly handle a
| '\0' character in a domain name in the Subject Alternative Name field
| of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to
| spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a
| legitimate Certification Authority, a related issue to CVE-2009-2408.
Unfortunately the vulnerability described above is not important enough
to get it fixed via regular security update in Debian stable. It does
not warrant a DSA.
However it would be nice if this could get fixed via a regular point update[1].
Please contact the release team for this.
This is an automatically generated mail, in case you are already working on an
upgrade this is of course pointless.
