-Subject: Remove support for passing gui QVariants to KAuth helpers
-
-Supporting gui variants is very dangerous since they can end up triggering
-image loading plugins which are one of the biggest vectors for crashes, which
-for very smart people mean possible code execution, which is very dangerous
-in code that is executed as root.
-
-We've checked all the KAuth helpers inside KDE git and none seems to be using
-gui variants, so we're not actually limiting anything that people wanted to do.
-
-Reviewed by security@kde.org and Aleix Pol
-
-Issue reported by Fabian Vogt
