The K Desktop Environment is a graphical desktop environment for the X Window System. The kdelibs packages include core libraries for the K Desktop Environment. Security Fix: * A privilege escalation flaw was found in the way kdelibs handled D-Bus messages. A local user could potentially use this flaw to gain root privileges by spoofing a callerID and leveraging a privileged helper application. Red Hat would like to thank Sebastian Krahmer for reporting this issue.
