 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2008:240
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : vinagre
 Date    : December 10, 2008
 Affected: 2008.1, 2009.0
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 Alfredo Ortega found a flaw in how Vinagre uses format strings.
 A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability if they were able to
 trick a user into connecting to a malicious VNC server, or opening a
 specially crafted URI with Vinagre.  With older versions of Vinagre,
 it was possible to execute arbitrary code with user privileges.
 In later versions, Vinagre would abort, leading to a denial of service.
 
 The updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.
