The vulnerability is caused due to KGet not properly sanitising the "name" attribute of the "file" element of metalink files before using it to download files. If a user is tricked into downloading from a specially crafted metalink file, this can be exploited to download files to directories outside of the intended download directory via directory traversal attacks. KDE version 4.4.2 is affected.
