Subject:      Security ERRATA for libgtop2 on SL4.x i386/x86_64
Comments: To: scientific-linux-errata@fnal.gov

Synopsis:	Moderate: libgtop2 security update
Issue date:	2007-08-07
CVE Names:	CVE-2007-0235

A flaw was found in the way libgtop2 handled long filenames mapped
into the address space of a process. An attacker could execute arbitrary
code on behalf of the user running gnome-system-monitor by executing a
process and mapping a file with a specially crafted name into the
processes' address space. (CVE-2007-0235)

This update also fixes the following bug:

* when a version of libgtop2 compiled to run on a 32-bit architecture was
used to inspect a process running in 64-bit mode, it failed to report
certain information regarding address space mapping correctly.

SL 4.x

   SRPMS:
	libgtop2-2.8.0-1.0.2.src.rpm
   i386:
	libgtop2-2.8.0-1.0.2.i386.rpm
