Update Information:
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.
