Solution
Solution
For Debian 7 'Wheezy', the master password disclosure issue has been fixed in version 0.5.0-4+deb7u1. The entries issues has not been fixed as it requires a rearchitecture of the software. We recommend that you upgrade your kedpm packages. Note that kedpm has been removed from the upcoming Debian release ('stretch') and you should migrate to another password manager as kedpm was abandoned.
