DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in KDE, which can be exploited by
malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks.
The vulnerability is caused due to KSSL not properly setting the text
format when displaying certificate information, which can be exploited
to spoof certificates via e.g. certificates containing specially
crafted RTF data in the Common Name (CN) field.
SOLUTION:
Fixed in the GIT repository.
