"A problem exists with the kdesu component of kdelibs. It created a
world-readable temporary file to exchange authentication information
and delete it shortly after. This can be abused by a local user to
gain access to the X server and could result in a compromise of the
account that kdesu would access.

Update :

Konqueror was unable to view manpages. This update corrects the
problem and further corrections to sound are present for those cards
that did not work properly with the previous update."
