Here are the details from the Slackware 9.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
Wed Jan 14 11:58:58 PST 2004
patches/packages/kdepim-3.1.4-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with security patch
 post-3.1.4-kdepim-kfile-plugins.diff. From the KDE advisory:

 The KDE team has found a buffer overflow in the file information reader
 of VCF files. A carefully crafted .VCF file potentially enables local
 attackers to compromise the privacy of a victim's data or execute
 arbitrary commands with the victim's privileges.
 By default, file information reading is disabled for remote files.
 However, if previews are enabled for remote files, remote attackers may
 be able to compromise the victim's account.
