MGASA-2025-0308 - Updated konsole packages fix security vulnerability

Publication date: 21 Nov 2025
URL: https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2025-0308.html
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 9
CVE: CVE-2025-49091

Description:
KDE Konsole before 25.04.2 allows remote code execution in a certain
scenario. It supports loading URLs from the scheme handlers such as a
ssh:// or telnet:// or rlogin:// URL. This can be executed regardless of
whether the ssh, telnet, or rlogin binary is available. In this mode,
there is a code path where if that binary is not available, Konsole
falls back to using /bin/bash for the given arguments (i.e., the URL)
provided. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2025-49091)
