Uncontrolled XMLHTTPRequest vulnerability

[Felix Geyer]

Binary package hint: kdelibs

In kdelibs 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-3ubuntu1 the patch security_05_XMLHttpRequest_vulnerability.diff has been accidentally dropped.
It has been pushed to hardy-karmic some time ago and I just uploaded it to natty.
So currently lucid and maverick are vulnerable.

Thanks, I've done some local test builds and have uploaded these to the ubuntu-security-proposed ppa https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security-proposed/+archive/ppa/ and will release them to the lucid and maverick security pocket soon.
