RHBA-2013:1053 - kde-settings bug fix update
Synopsis
kde-settings bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated kde-settings packages that fix one bug are now available.
Description
The kde-settings packages provide a rich set of administration panels to configure system and desktop settings in the Konqueror Desktop Environment (KDE).
This update fixes the following bug:
- The Konqueror browser enabled Java support by default. Because Java is one of the common targets for browser-based malware attacks, Java is now disabled by default in Konqueror.
To enable Java in Konqueror, navigate to Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Java & JavaScript (which sets the path to Java), and select the "Enable Java globally" check box. (BZ#886237)
Users of kde-settings are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
