  KMail: HTML injection in plain text viewer

Bug description:
  Through a malicious URL that contained a quote character it
  was possible to inject HTML code in KMail's plain text viewer.
  Due to the parser used on the URL it was not possible to include
  the equal sign (=) or a space into the injected HTML, which greatly
  reduces the available HTML functionality. Although it is possible
  to include an HTML comment indicator to hide content.

  Note: Affected package is kdepimlibs in 12.04 - 15.04 and it looks
  like both kcoreaddons and messagecomposer in later releases.
