      Konqueror Frame Injection Vulnerability
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    The Konqueror web browser allows websites to load web pages into a frame
    of any other frame-based web page that the user may have open.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable Systems:
     * All versions of KDE up to KDE 3.2.3 inclusive

    Impact:
    A malicious website could abuse Konqueror to insert its own frames into
