CVE-2006-6980 says[1]:

"The ruby handlers in Amarok do not properly quote text in certain 
contexts, probably including construction of an unzip command line, 
which allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell 
metacharacters."

There is an open KDE bug report[2], and SuSE has patched this 
problem.  I'm working on extracting the patches now...
