Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: : Updated KDE packages fix security issue

Notes

Topic
Updated KDE packages that resolve a vulnerability in KDE's SSL implementation are now available.
Details
KDE is a graphical desktop environment for the X Window System. KDE versions 2.2.2 and earlier have a vulnerability in their SSL implementation that makes it possible for users of Konqueror and other SSL enabled KDE software to fall victim to a man-in-the-middle attack. Red Hat Linux 7.1 and 7.2 shipped with KDE packages that are vulnerable to this issue. Users of KDE should upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain KDE 2.2.2 with a backported patch to correct this vulnerability.

Only those\nRPMs which are currently installed will be updated.  Those RPMs which are\nnot installed but included in the list will not be updated.  Note that you\ncan also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the\ndesired RPMs.\n\nPlease note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network.  Many\npeople find this an easier way to apply updates.  To use Red Hat Network,\nlaunch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:\n\nup2date\n\nThis will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate\nRPMs being upgraded on your system.",
