+--------------------------+
Mon May 17 19:31:12 PDT 2004
patches/packages/kdelibs-3.1.4-i486-2.tgz: Patched URI security
issues. According to www.kde.org:
The telnet, rlogin, ssh and mailto URI handlers in KDE do not
check for '-' at the beginning of the hostname passed, which
makes it possible to pass an option to the programs started
by the handlers.
For more details, see:
