DESCRIPTION

 The KDE team has found[2] a buffer overflow vulnerability[3] in the
 file information reader of .VCF files. A carefully constructed .VCF
 file, if opened or previewed by an unsuspecting user, could cause the
 execution of arbitrary code with the victim's privileges.
 


SOLUTION
 It is recommended that all KDE users upgrade their kdepim packages.
