Subject: SECURITY: kdelibs and DOSEMU problems for OpenLinux

A /tmp race problem with KDE's libmediatool library and a buffer overrun
problem with DOSEMU have been fixed and updated packages are immediately
available from Caldera Systems' FTP site for OpenLinux users.  All versions
of OpenLinux that use KDE 1.0 and DOSEMU <0.98.5 are affected.

The following URLs point to the security advisories:

For the 'kdelibs' problem:
