1. Systems affected:

        KDE 3.4.0 up to including KDE 3.5.1

        code on the client machine.

4. Solution:

        Source code patches have been made available which fix these
        vulnerabilities. Contact your OS vendor / binary package provider
        for information about how to obtain updated binary packages.
