KDE Kate, KWrite Local Backup File Information Disclosure Vulnerability

KDE kate and kwrite are susceptible to a local information-disclosure vulnerability. The applications fail to maintain secure file permissions when creating backup files.

This vulnerability allows local attackers to gain access to the contents of potentially sensitive files.

Note: Since these applications are network-aware, under some unknown circumstances, this issue may not be restricted to local attackers.
