    KDE is a powerful Free Software graphical desktop environment for Linux and
    Unix-like Operating Systems.

  <description>
    <p>
    KDE contains three security issues:
    </p>
    <ul>
    <li>Insecure handling of temporary files when running KDE applications
    outside of the KDE environment</li>
    <li>DCOPServer creates temporary files in an insecure manner</li>
    <li>The Konqueror browser allows websites to load webpages into a target
    frame of any other open frame-based webpage</li>
    </ul>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to create or overwrite
    files with the permissions of another user, compromise the account of users
    running a KDE application and insert arbitrary frames into an otherwise
    trusted webpage.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
    upgrade to the latest available version of kdebase.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All KDE users should upgrade to the latest versions of kdelibs and kdebase:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge sync

    # emerge -pv "&gt;=kde-base/kdebase-3.2.3-r1"
    # emerge "&gt;=kde-base/kdebase-3.2.3-r1"

    # emerge -pv "&gt;=kde-base/kdelibs-3.2.3-r1"
    # emerge "&gt;=kde-base/kdelibs-3.2.3-r1"</code>
