CVE-2012-4515

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Konqueror in KDE version 4.7.3

Description The issue is related to a use-after-free vulnerability in the khtml/rendering/render replaced.cpp file. This vulnerability can be triggered when the context menu is shown and an iframe is being updated, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code.

Recommendations For Konqueror in KDE version 4.7.3, consider disabling the context menu feature as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to iframes to minimize the risk of exploitation.
