The most common way and the most suitable one for newbies is to let
the distributor do the work. So, if you're, say, a SUSE user, use their
online update (YOU) to get an updated package with the fix.
Most distributors offer updated packages very soon after a security problem
gets known and fixed. (You haven't stated your distro.)
You only need the .diff file if you have compiled KDE from source on
your own.
