+Subject: [PATCH] Disable greeters from loading KDE's debug hander
+
+Some themes may use KDE components which will automatically load KDE's
+crash handler.
+
+If the greeter were to then somehow crash, that would leave a crash
+handler allowing other actions, albeit as the locked down SDDM user.
+
+Only SDDM users using the breeze theme from plasma-workspace are
+affected. Safest and simplest fix is to handle this inside SDDM
+disabling kcrash via an environment variable for all future themes that
+may use these libraries.
+
+CVE-2015-0856
