NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kde4libs package and not the kde4libs package as distributed by Ubuntu.

aRts 1.5.10 and kdelibs3 3.5.10 and earlier do not properly create temporary directories, which allows local users to hijack the IPC by pre-creating the temporary directory.
