A directory traversal 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. (CVE-2011-1586)

The desktop must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this update to take effect.
