Package: konqueror
Version: 4:15.04.3-1
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

I was just typing a geocaching log in a konqueror that popped up
when activating a link in a mail (to the cache listing) and noticed
small decimal digits scrolling by, one on a line, in the xterm that
was not fully hidden from view by the konqueror window. Sometimes,
the number was 32. I was on full alert.

Natureshadow managed to reproduce this on sid amd64, so it’s not an
x32 issue, although he had to switch back to KHTML from Webkit (via
menu V̲iew → V̲iew Mode → K̲HTML) to reproduce it.

Shortest reproducer, even if using a proprietary service:

$ konqueror pastebin.com

Then just start typing (after switching to KHTML if needed).
