Security: Advisories for Kate and Kopete
========================================

   Two security advisories [http://www.kde.org/info/security/] have been
issued this week. The first affects Kate and KWrite
[http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20050718-1.txt] as shipped
with KDE 3.2.x up to including 3.4.0: backup files are created during
saving with default permissions, even if the original file had more
strict permissions set. The second affects Kopete
[http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20050721-1.txt] as included
in KDE 3.2.3 up to including KDE 3.4.1: the included copy of libgadu, if
installed, can lead to integer overflows and remote DoS or arbitrary
code execution.
