Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in KDE, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) A vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing SVGList objects. This can be exploited to trigger a memory corruption when visiting a malicious web page.
