Description Andrej Nemec 2016-07-18 07:28:28 UTC
When using KNewStuff, one of the KDE Frameworks, to download and install files 
from the internet (e.g. a wallpaper, a plasma applet, etc.), it was possible 
to download a maliciously crafted archive file (e.g. tar.gz or zip) containing 
relative paths leading to outside the extraction directory (say 
"../../../.bashrc" for instance).
