The remote host is missing an update for the 'kdelibs' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. The kdelibs packages provide libraries for the K Desktop Environment (KDE). A buffer overflow flaw was found in the kdelibs string to floating point conversion routines. A web page containing malicious JavaScript could crash Konqueror or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Konqueror. Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. The desktop must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this update to take effect. Please install the updated packages
