Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in KDE, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerabilities are caused by errors in the way KDE uses "gs" to process PS and PDF files. This can result in execution of arbitrary commands included in PS and PDF files, which can be exploited by a malicious person by luring a user into opening a malicious PS or PDF file.
