kdelibs3-3.5.10-84.fc25

Leave a comment

This kdelibs3 (KDE 3 compatibility libraries) update fixes the security issues:

* CVE-2016-6232 (karchive): Extraction of tar files possible to arbitrary system locations
* CVE-2017-6410 (kio): Information Leak when accessing https when using a malicious PAC file

for the KDE 3 compatibility libraries. (Security updates for KDE Frameworks 5 (kf5-karchive resp. kf5-kio) and for the KDE 4 compatibility libraries (kdelibs 4) have already been submitted.)

In addition, the KDE 3 compatibility version of KCrash was modified to use the DrKonqi from Plasma 5 rather than from kde-runtime 4. (The original KDE 3 DrKonqi was already dropped years ago.) The kde-runtime 4 DrKonqi is not installed by default and will be removed entirely in future Fedora versions, the Plasma 5 version of DrKonqi can also be used for legacy applications.

Do you know — 1 Gram of DNA Can Store 1,000,000,000 Terabyte of Data for 1000+ Years.

Just last year, Microsoft purchased 10 Million strands of synthetic DNA from San Francisco DNA synthesis startup called Twist Bioscience and collaborated with researchers from the University of Washington to focus on using DNA as a data storage medium.

However, in the latest experiments, a pair of
