See URL for advisory: A flaw was discovered in the FTP kioslave. KDE applications such as Konqueror could be forced to execute arbitrary FTP commands via a carefully crafted ftp URL. The URL could also be crafted in such a way as to send an arbitrary email via SMTP. An attacker could make use of this flaw if a victim clicks on a malcious link or visits a malicious web site. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CAN-2004-1165 to this issue. This issue should also affect RHEL2.1
it's now fixed in kdelibs-2.2.2-15 and kdelibs-3.1.3-6.9. http://porkchop.redhat.com/errata/showerrata.cgi?type=html&advisory=2005:009
