The URI handlers in Konqueror for KDE 3.2.2 and earlier do not properly filter "-" characters that begin a hostname in a (1) telnet, (2) rlogin, (3) ssh, or (4) mailto URI, which allows remote attackers to manipulate the options that are passed to the associated programs, possibly to read arbitrary files or execute arbitrary code.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2004-0411 affects legacy Konqueror in KDE 3.2.2 and earlier. A malicious link using certain URI schemes could pass unintended options to helper programs. In the worst case, this could let an attacker read files or run code on the user’s system. Exposure is most plausible on old Linux or Unix desktop systems, kiosks, or legacy appliances still running KDE 3.2.2 or earlier with Konqueror handling affected URI schemes. Prioritize this for environments with legacy KDE desktops or appliances. For modern fleets without Konqueror/KDE 3.2.2-era software, business urgency is low, but legacy exceptions should be closed or isolated. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for KDE 3.2.2 or earlier and Konqueror usage.; Apply KDE or distribution vendor updates referenced by Red Hat, Debian, SUSE, Fedora, Gentoo, or Slackware.; Disable affected URI handlers where legacy systems cannot be upgraded..
