Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.8% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 79.9% of all records.
- No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: kdebase (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:3::as) 6:3.1.3-5.4; kdebase-debuginfo (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:3::as) 6:3.1.3-5.4; kdebase-devel (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:3::as) 6:3.1.3-5.4.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to kdebase (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:3::as) 6:3.1.3-5.4; kdebase-debuginfo (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:3::as) 6:3.1.3-5.4; kdebase-devel (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:3::as) 6:3.1.3-5.4 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Konqueror in KDE 3.2.3 and earlier allows web sites to set cookies for country-specific top-level domains, such as .ltd.uk, .plc.uk and .firm.in, which could allow remote attackers to perform a session fixation attack and hijack a user's HTTP session.
