KDE Security Advisory: URI Handler Vulnerabilities
The KDE project today issued a security advisory: the telnet, rlogin, ssh and mailto URI handlers in KDE are remotely expoitable by an active attacker. Patches are available. See http://www.kde.org/info/security/adviso … 0517-1.txt.
I read in the weekly ArchLinux newsletter that the Arch KDE packager has resigned -- I still hope we can get patched kdelibs packages in due time.

Re: KDE Security Advisory: URI Handler Vulnerabilities
kde 3.2.3 will be out in about a month - hopefully with these patches in it
i resigned, because of upload-bandwidth trouble - it was more than my internet-conneciton was able to handle

Re: KDE Security Advisory: URI Handler Vulnerabilities
I see, thanks. Shame regarding your maintainership, as far as I'm concerned you did an excellent job. I love KDE, have built it a lot, and I'd take over maintainership in a heartbeat if I weren't so new to Arch still
