fix from Waldo, applied in KDE 3.4

Waldo, when do you want to make the anouncement ? Together with 3.4 ? 

Ok, someone has to decide whether we make updates or not. I dont know which
package has to be updated but probably it is kdebase or something,
so quite a lot of bytes for s stupid local DOS.

it is kdelibs3 
 
(I would take this chance to fix also a printing issue for 9.2 and to obsolete 
various former patches via releasing almost all subpackages.) 

Ok, then lets do it. The patchinfo-text would be a bit "mixed".

Announcement planned for wednesday, march 16.

KDE Security Advisory: Local DCOP denial of service vulnerability  
Original Release Date: 20050316  
URL: http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20050316-1.txt

1. Systems affected:  
  
        All KDE version prior to KDE 3.4 on systems where multiple users  
        have access.  
  
  
2. Overview:  
  
        Sebastian Krahmer of the SUSE LINUX Security Team reported a local  
        denial of service vulnerability in KDE's Desktop Communication  
        Protocol (DCOP) daemon better known as dcopserver.  
  
        A local user can lock up the dcopserver of arbitrary other users  
        on the same machine by stalling the DCOP authentication process.  
  
        Although it is not possible to by pass the authentication process  
        this way, it can cause a significant reduction in desktop  
        functionality for the affected users.  
  
        The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)  
        has assigned the name CAN-2005-0396 to this issue.  
  
        
3. Impact:  
  
        A local user can lock up the dcopserver of arbitrary other users  
        on the same machine. This can cause a significant reduction in  
        desktop functionality for the affected users including, but not  
        limited to, the inability to browse the internet and the inability  
        to start new applications.  
  
  
4. Solution:  
  
        Upgrade to KDE 3.4.  
  
        For older versions of KDE Source code patches have been made  
        available which fix these vulnerabilities. Contact your OS vendor /  
        binary package provider for information about how to obtain updated  
        binary packages.
