A vulnerability has been found and corrected in kdelibs4:
kio/kio/tcpslavebase.cpp in KDE KSSL in kdelibs before 4.6.1 does not properly verify that the server hostname matches the domain name of the subject of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority for an IP address, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-2702 (CVE-2011-1094). Additionally it was discovered that kdelibs4 for 2009.0 was using an old private copy of the ca-bundle.crt file containing the root CA certs, this has now been resolved so that it uses the system wide and up to date /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt file last updated with the MDVSA-2011:068 advisory. Packages for 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program.
