A KDE Security Advisory explains:
Overview
KStars includes support for the Instrument Neutral
Distributed Interface (INDI). The build system of this
extra 3rd party software contained an installation hook to
install fliccd (part of INDI) as SUID root
application.
Erik SjΓΆlund discovered that the code contains several
vulnerabilities that allow stack based buffer
overflows.
Impact
If the fliccd binary is installed as suid root, it
enables root privilege escalation for local users, or, if
the daemon is actually running (which it does not by
default) and is running as root, remote root privilege
escalation.
