Summary
Updated kconfig packages fix security vulnerability
Details

Updated kconfig packages fix security vulnerability:

Dominik Penner discovered that KConfig supported a feature to define shell command execution in .desktop files. If a user is provided with a malformed .desktop file (e.g. if it's embedded into a downloaded archive and it gets opened in a file browser) arbitrary commands could get executed (CVE-2019-14744).

This update fixes the security issue by removing the shell command feature.
