Here are the details from the Slackware 12.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/kdelibs-3.5.7-i486-4_slack12.0.tgz:
 Patched to fix a security problem.
 From the KDE advisory: 'If start_kdeinit is installed as setuid root, a
 local user might be able to send unix signals to other processes, cause
 a denial of service or even possibly execute arbitrary code.'
 This issue affects KDE 3.5.5 through KDE 3.5.9.
 We recommend upgrading to the new kdelibs package as soon as possible.
