kdenetwork is vulnerable to directory traversal. The vulnerability exists as a flaw was found in the way KGet, a download manager, handled the “file” element in Metalink files. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially-crafted Metalink file that, when opened, would cause KGet to overwrite arbitrary files accessible to the user running KGet.
