  verview
  ========

  kwebkitpart and the bookmarks:// io slave were not sanitizing input correctly allowing to
  some javascript being executed on the context of the referenced hostname. For example going to
     bookmarks://hhdhdhhdhdhdh.google.com/'><script>alert('bookmarks'+document.domain);</script>
  in Konqueror makes a Javascript alert popup.

  Impact
  ======

  Whilst in most cases, the JavaScript will be executed in an untrusted context, with the bookmarks IO slave,
  it will be executed in the context of the referenced hostname. In the example above, this is hhdhdhhdhdhdh.google.com.
  It should however be noted that KDE mitigates this risk by attempting to ensure that such URLs cannot be embedded directly
  into Internet hosted content.
