kde4libs vulnerability
=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 15.10
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

KDE-Libs could be made to overwrite files.

Software Description:
- kde4libs: KDE 4 core applications and libraries

Details:

Andreas Cord-Landwehr discovered that KDE-Libs incorrectly handled
extracting certain archives. If a user were tricked into extracting a
specially-crafted archive, a remote attacker could use this issue to
overwrite arbitrary files out of the extraction directory.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 15.10:
  libkdecore5                     4:4.14.13-0ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
  libkdecore5                     4:4.13.3-0ubuntu0.3

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
  libkdecore5                     4:4.8.5-0ubuntu0.5

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
