KDE's April 2020 Apps Update
A new bundle of KDE applications is here! In these releases, you can expect to
find more features, stability improvements, and more user-friendly tools that
will help you work more effectively.
There are dozens of changes to look forward to in most of your favorite
applications. Take Dolphin, for example. Windows Samba shares are now fully
discoverable.
On the topic of playing music: the Elisa music player is adding features by
leaps and bounds. This release brings a new “Now Playing” view, easy
accessibility through the system tray, and an option to minimize the playlist
whenever you want. Thanks to the recently-added visual shuffle mode, it’s much
easier to rearrange your music in the playlists.
These are just the highlights of what’s new in KDE’s applications this month.

Overview
========
Okular can be tricked into executing local binaries via specially crafted
PDF files.
This binary execution can require almost no user interaction.
No parameters can be passed to those local binaries.
We have not been able to identify any binary that will cause actual damage,
be it in the hardware or software level, when run without parameters.
We remain relatively confident that for this issue to do any actual damage,
it has to run a binary specially crafted. That binary must have been deployed
to the user system via another method, be it the user downloading it directly
as an email attachment, webpage download, etc. or by the system being already
compromised.
Solution
========
- Update to Okular >= 1.10.0
- or apply the following patch:
https://invent.kde.org/kde/okular/-/commit/6a93a033b4f9248b3cd4d04689b8391df754e244
Workaround
==========
There's no real workaround other than not opening PDF files from untrusted sources.
Credits

Albert Astals Cid for the fix.
