Fedora: 2006-215 Moderate: Libglade Non-ASCII Character Issue

fedora
Calendar Grey March 24, 2006
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Patch issued for Fedora Core 5 libglade2 to resolve problems with non-ASCII hidden characters in user passwords.
A new libglade package has been released that fixes a problem when setting the "invisible" character (in password entries) to a non-ASCII character.

Summary

Libglade is a small library that allows a program to load its user

interface from am XML description at runtime. Libglade uses the XML

file format used by the GLADE user interface builder GLADE, so

libglade acts as an alternative to GLADE's code generation

approach. Libglade also provides a simple interface for connecting

handlers to the various signals in the interface (on platforms where

the gmodule library works correctly, it is possible to connect all the

handlers with a single function call). Once the interface has been

instantiated, libglade gives no overhead, so other than the short

initial interface loading time, there is no performance tradeoff.

A new libglade package has been released that fixes a

problem when setting the "invisible" character (in password

entries)

to a non-ASCII character.
