Mitre CVE reports :

Format string vulnerability in main.cpp in kpopup 0.9.1-0.9.5pre2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in command line arguments.

misc.cpp in KPopup 0.9.1 trusts the PATH variable when executing killall, which allows local users to elevate their privileges by modifying the PATH variable to reference a malicious killall program.
