Summary

Educational/Edutainment applications for KDE

Ben Burton notified the KDE security team about several

tempfile handling related vulnerabilities in langen2kvtml,

a conversion script for kvoctrain. The script must be

manually invoked.

The script uses known filenames in /tmp which allow an local

attacker to overwrite files writeable by the user invoking the

conversion script.

This update fixes these vulnerabilities.
