Description Josh Bressers 2005-08-10 18:59:47 UTC 
Ben Burton notified the KDE security team about several tempfile handling
related vulnerabilities in langen2kvtml, a conversion script for kvoctrain. The
script must be manually invoked.

The script uses known filenames in /tmp which allow an local attacker to
overwrite files writeable by the user invoking the conversion script.


This issue should also affect FC3
