rendering/render_replaced.cpp in Konqueror in KDE before 4.9.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted web page, related to "trying to reuse a frame with a null part."

backend/session.c in KDM in KDE 3.3.0 through 3.5.7, when autologin is configured and "shutdown with password" is enabled, allows remote attackers to bypass the password requirement and login to arbitrary accounts via unspecified vectors.

The Adobe PDF specification 1.3, as implemented by (a) xpdf 3.0.1 patch 2, (b) kpdf in KDE before 3.5.5, (c) poppler before 0.5.4, and other products, allows remote attackers to have an unknown impact, possibly including denial of service (infinite loop), arbitrary code execution, or memory corruption, via a PDF file with a (1) crafted catalog dictionary or (2) a crafted Pages attribute that references an invalid page tree node.

KDE Display Manager (KDM) in KDE 3.2.0 up to 3.5.3 allows local users to read arbitrary files via a symlink attack related to the session type for login.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the encodeURI and decodeURI functions in the kjs JavaScript interpreter engine in KDE 3.2.0 through 3.5.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted, UTF-8 encoded URI.

kcheckpass in KDE 3.2.0 up to 3.4.2 allows local users to gain root access via a symlink attack on lock files.

langen2kvtml in KDE 3.0 to 3.4.2 creates insecure temporary files in /tmp with predictable names, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files.
