Systems affected:
gedit 2.10.2
no affected
all exploitable
1:why: gedit is power tool .. it used to edit *.c *.pl *.py ............
when it open a bin .. ths bin's name or filename is format strings ... it is
exploitable
2:tips:
void
gedit_utils_error_reporting_loading_file (
const gchar *uri,
const GeditEncoding *encoding,
GError *error,
GtkWindow *parent)
{
............
if (error_message == NULL)
{
if ((error == NULL) || (error->message == NULL))
error_message = g_strdup_printf (
_("Could not open the file \"%s\"."),
uri_for_display);................name
else
error_message = g_strdup_printf (
_("Could not open the file \"%s\".\n\n%s."),
uri_for_display, error->message);..........name
}
g_free (encoding_name);
dialog = gtk_message_dialog_new (
parent,
GTK_DIALOG_MODAL | GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT,
GTK_MESSAGE_ERROR,
GTK_BUTTONS_OK,
error_message);....................boom......
