Maksymilian Arciemowicz discovered a buffer overflow in the internal
string routines of the KDE core libraries, which could lead to the
execution of arbitrary code.
For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-0lenny4.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-3.
