Ark input sanitization errors:
The KDE archiving tool, Ark, performs insufficient validation
which leads to specially crafted archive files, using unknown
MIME types, to be rendered using a KHTML instance, this can
trigger uncontrolled XMLHTTPRequests to remote sites.
IO Slaves input sanitization errors:
KDE protocol handlers perform insufficient input validation, an
attacker can craft malicious URI that would trigger JavaScript
execution. Additionally the 'help://' protocol handler suffer
from directory traversal. It should be noted that the scope of
this issue is limited as the malicious URIs cannot be embedded
in Internet hosted content.
KMail input sanitization errors:
The KDE mail client, KMail, performs insufficient validation which
leads to specially crafted email attachments, using unknown MIME
types, to be rendered using a KHTML instance, this can trigger
uncontrolled XMLHTTPRequests to remote sites.

KDE Community ships sirst translation and service release of the 4.1
dree desktop, containing numerous bugfixes, Performance Improvements
and Translation Updates.
Pretty much all applications have received the developers' attention,
resulting in a long list of bugfixes and improvements. The most significant
changes are:

improvements in KHTML and Konqueror, KDE's web browser
* User interaction, rendering and stability fixes in Plasma,
the KDE4 desktop shell
* PDF backend fixes in the document viewer Okular
* Fixes in Gwenview, the image viewer's thumbnailing, more
robust retrieval and display of images with broken metadata
* Stability and interaction fixes in KMail
New Ports:
- graphics/kcoloredit
* KColorEdit is a palette files editor. It can be used
for editing color palettes and for color choosing and
naming.
- graphics/kgraphviewer
* KGraphViewer is a GraphViz DOT graph viewer for KDE. The
GraphViz programs are free-software layout engines for graphs.
KGraphViewer displays the graphs in a modern, user-friendly GUI
with all the power of a well integrated KDE application.
- graphics/kiconedit
* KIconEdit is designed to help create icons for KDE using the standard
icon palette.
- graphics/skanlite

more than scan and save images. Skanlite can open a save dialog for
every image scanned or save the images immediately in a specified
directory with auto-generated names and format. The user can also
choose to show the scanned image before saving.
net/avahi will be read as net/avahi-app for core library. Also,
with net/avahi-libdns installed, hardwrited dependency for mDNSReponder
lead to conflicts, but KDE 4.1 can use avahi-loibdns instead.
