* SECURITY UPDATE: KDM symlink attack vulnerability
* Add kubuntu_65_kdm_symlink_vunerability.diff
* KDM allows the user to select the session type for login. This
  setting is permanently stored in the user home directory. By
  using a symlink attack, KDM can be tricked into allowing the
  user to read file content that would otherwise be unreadable
  to this particular user.
* References:
  CVE-2006-2449
