The `dcopidlng' script in the KDE library package
(kdelibs-3.3.2/dcop/dcopidlng/dcopidlng)
creates temporary files in a unsecure manner.

This bug has been fixed in 32 minutes (!) by Stephan Kulow, the KDE team
leader. Here you can found the official patch:

the QiLinux team to (semi)automatically create specfiles from tarballs and
update/check rpm packages. It's released under GPL and not QiLinux specific.
