DESCRIPTION
kdepim is a collection of Personal Information Management (PIM) tools
for the K Desktop Enviromnent (KDE[1]).
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.
