i discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in gnome nautilus.
i don't know many details about this overflow, but if someone is possible to 
create a directory with a name of 255 x A,
nautilus won't be able to handle with the directory. The creating of the 
directory could be possible through a ftp server.
example:
http://www.k-otik.com/exploits/08.11.0x82-wu262-advanced.c

if you delete your directory(not in a shell), you can find it in your trash. 
now clear it, and you'll get an error with a segmentation fault.
if you enter the directory in your trash with a double click and also do this 
with the next directory, you'll get a segmentation fault, too.
