DSA-3643 kde4libs – security update

Andreas Cord-Landwehr discovered that kde4libs, the core libraries
for all KDE 4 applications, do not properly handle the extraction
of archives with “../” in the file paths. A remote attacker can
take advantage of this flaw to overwrite files outside of the
extraction folder, if a user is tricked into extracting a specially
crafted archive.
