Bug#337830: Security problem in kphone

Package: kphone
Version: 4.2-3
Severity: serious

I think I have found a security flaw in kphone:
it creates ~/.qt/kphonerc world-readable! This file contains the user's
SIP-password and so on, so I guess this is a bad thing, because the
~/.qt dir itself is by default also readable by everybody.

I removed the whole ~/.qt dir and restarted kphone: same behaviour.

Regards,
Sven
