Update Information:

Security fix for CVE-2015-7543 in kdelibs3 (the KDE 3 compatibility version of
kdelibs): A temporary directory was being created insecurely using mktemp and
mkdir, allowing an attacker to hijack the temporary directory and thus the
inter-process communication (IPC). This update fixes the temporary directory
creation to use the safe mkdtemp function instead.
