Bug description:
  KDE Project Security Advisory
  =============================

  Title:          kio: Information Leak when accessing https when using a malicious PAC file
  Risk Rating:    Medium
  CVE:            TBC
  Versions:       kio < 5.32, kdelibs < 4.14.30
  Date:           28 February 2017

  
  Overview
  ========
  Using a malicious PAC file, and then using exfiltration methods in the PAC
  function FindProxyForURL() enables the attacker to expose full https URLs.

  This is a security issue since https URLs may contain sensitive
  information in the URL authentication part (user:password@host), and in the
  path and the query (e.g. access tokens).

  This attack can be carried out remotely (over the LAN) since proxy settings
  allow “Detect Proxy Configuration Automatically”.
  This setting uses WPAD to retrieve the PAC file, and an attacker who has access
  to the victim’s LAN can interfere with the WPAD protocols (DHCP/DNS+HTTP)
  and inject his/her own malicious PAC instead of the legitimate one.

  Solution
  ========
  Update to kio >= 5.32 and kdelibs >= 4.14.30 (when released)

  Or apply the following patches:
