  * SECURITY UPDATE: uncontrolled XMLHTTPRequest vulnerability. (LP: #661416)
    - Ark and KMail performs insufficient validation which leads to
      specially crafted archive files, using unknown MIME types, to be
      rendered using a KHTML instance, this can trigger uncontrolled
      XMLHTTPRequests to remote sites.
    - Add debian/patches/security_05_XMLHttpRequest_vulnerability.diff,
      restricts xmlhttprequest to http protocols only.
      This patch has been accidentally dropped in 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-3ubuntu1.
