Security Updates: Artswrapper and KDM
=====================================

   KDE made two security announcements
[http://www.kde.org/info/security/] today, the KDM Symlink Vulnerability
[http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20060614-1.txt] is a
potential local exploit on systems using KDM as their login manager. 
Artswrapper return value checking vulnerability
[http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20060614-2.txt] affects Linux
2.6 systems that have artswrapper installed SUID root.  A separate
update was made for the wv2 library
[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10501&package_id=68781]
used in KWord to import MS Word files to fix a boundary check error. 
Your distribution should have updates for these issues.
