[slackware-security]  kdebase, kdelibs (SSA:2007-264-01)

New kdebase packages are available for Slackware 12.0 to fix security issues.

A long URL padded with spaces could be used to display a false URL in
Konqueror's addressbar, and KDM when used with no-password login could
be tricked into logging a different user in without a password.  This
is not the way KDM is configured in Slackware by default, somewhat
mitigating the impact of this issue.

  namely autologin to be configured and "shutdown with password"
 enabled."

Where to find the new packages:
+-----------------------------+

HINT:  Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try.  This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
directly from ftp.slackware.com.

Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project!  :-)

Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for
additional mirror sites near you.
