If it's true it is quite safe to use it.
... except that, by the time it gets passed around the internet a few thousand times, it is almost certain to pick up a virus or two. While I seriously doubt that there are any viruses that can attack the firmware in a K10D or K20D, once an infected DLL is called, it can do whatever it is that viruses do to your computer.

If you come across such a DLL, scan it six ways from sunday, with every antivirus program you can find, before you try to use it.
