        <package name="kde-apps/konsole" auto="yes" arch="*">
            <unaffected range="ge">24.12.3-r1</unaffected>

    <background>
        <p>Konsole is KDE&#39;s terminal emulator.</p>
    </background>
    <description>
        <p>Konsole supports loading URLs from the scheme handlers such as telnet://URL. This can be executed regardless of whether the telnet binary is available. It would fallback to bash in that case and execute arbitrary code.</p>
    </description>
    <impact type="high">
        <p>Clicking a malicious URL in a browser may lead to arbitrary code execution. Please review the referenced CVE identifier for details.</p>
    </impact>
    <workaround>
        <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
    </workaround>
    <resolution>
        <p>All Konsole users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
        
        <code>
          # emerge --sync
          # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=kde-apps/konsole-24.12.3-r1"
        </code>
