+	  <p>KDE workspace configuration module for setting the date and time
+	    has a helper program which runs as root for performing actions.
+	    This is secured with polkit.</p>
+	  <p>This helper takes the name of the ntp utility to run as an
+	    argument. This allows a hacker to run any arbitrary command as root
+	    under the guise of updating the time.</p>
+	  <p>An application can gain root priveledges from an admin user with
+	    either misleading information or no interaction.</p>
+	  <p>On some systems the user will be shown a prompt to change the
+	    time. However, if the system has policykit-desktop-privileges
+	    installed, the datetime helper will be invoked by an admin user
+	    without any prompts.</p>
