Hello KDE fans,

yesterday, a security hole in the KDE screen locker was
discovered. It allows bad guys to unlock the screen without
entering a password.

A patch for this problem was published soon after the report
and can be found at

        ftp://ftp.de.kde.org/pub/kde/security_patches/saver.cpp.patch

Later it will appear at 

        ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/security_patches/saver.cpp.patch


Please make use of this patch or upgrade to updated RPM's that
will soon be available.


Bye,
Matthias.
