    CVE-2013-7252

    Summary: Updated kdebase4-runtime packages fix CVE-2013-7252 and several bugs

    Details: Updated kdebase4-runtime packages fix security vulnerability: kwalletd in KWallet before KDE Applications 14.12.0 uses Blowfish with ECB mode instead of CBC mode when encrypting the password store, which makes it easier for attackers to guess passwords via a codebook attack (CVE-2013-7252). This update also fixes some additional issues: - encoding in KDEsuDialog (mga#14851) - kio_sftp can corrupts files when reading (bko#342391) - use euro currency for Lithuania - save the default file manager, email client and browser in mimeapps.list [Default Applications] for a better interoperability with most of GTK applications (mga#4461)
