An updated gedit package that fixes a file name format string vulnerability is now available.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-402 2005-06-26 ---------------------------------------------------------------------Product : Fedora Core 3 Name : gedit Version : 2.8.1 Release : 2.fc3.1 Summary : gEdit is a small but powerful text editor for GNOME. Description : gEdit is a small but powerful text editor designed specifically for the GNOME GUI desktop. gEdit includes a plug-in API (which supports extensibility while keeping the core binary small), support for editing multiple documents using notebook tabs, and standard text editor functions. You'll need to have GNOME and GTK+ installed to use gEdit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: An updated gedit package that fixes a file name format string vulnerability is now available. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team gEdit is a small text editor designed specifically for the GNOME GUI desktop. A file name format string vulnerability has been discovered in gEdit. It is possible for an attacker to create a file with a carefully crafted name which, when the file is opened, executes arbitrary instructions on a victim's machine. Although it is unlikely that a user would manually open a file with such a carefully crafted file name, a user could, for example, be tricked into opening such a file from within an email client. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-1686 to this issue. Users of gEdit should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue. ---------------------------------------------------------------------* Tue Jun 7 2005 Ray Strode 1:2.8.1-2.fc3.1 - Dontpass user input as format specifiers to gtk_message_dialog_new (bug 159657). ---------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be downloaded from: 0cda03e960fa2a10affb26df06a137c8 SRPMS/gedit-2.8.1-2.fc3.1.src.rpm e17d271ac464e23edd551516afae1c7f x86_64/gedit-2.8.1-2.fc3.1.x86_64.rpm e0c4cd2e6cfbd7c089521acae61e9320 x86_64/gedit-devel-2.8.1-2.fc3.1.x86_64.rpm 462896c74e203ef95b002f649cbee289 x86_64/debug/gedit-debuginfo-2.8.1-2.fc3.1.x86_64.rpm c95bab56d29eed0c5320ada147fba03d i386/gedit-2.8.1-2.fc3.1.i386.rpm d4d49f857df7b492cd45f00d9f06efda i386/gedit-devel-2.8.1-2.fc3.1.i386.rpm 72902a585ff2c43b57840b24d1868ecc i386/debug/gedit-debuginfo-2.8.1-2.fc3.1.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Thanks go to Bernd Bartmann for reminding me to send this announcement out.
