Description:
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&gt; in Konqueror makes a Javascript alert popup.
