MDKSA-2005:102 - Updated gedit packages fix format string vulnerability



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

 _______________________________________________________________________

                Mandriva Linux Security Update Advisory
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package name:           gedit
 Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2005:102
 Date:                   June 15th, 2005

 Affected versions:      10.1, 10.2, Corporate 3.0
 ______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 A vulnerability was discovered in gEdit where it was possible for an
 attacker to create a file with a carefully crafted name which, when
 opened, executed arbitrary code on the victim's computer.  It is
 highly unlikely that a user would open such a file, due to the file
 name, but could possibly be tricked into opening it.
 
 The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem.
