Detail
| Liu Qishuai discovered that the GNOME gtop library performs insufficient sanitising when parsing the system's /proc table, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 2.6.0-4sarge1. For the upcoming stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in version 2.14.4-3. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.14.4-3. We recommend that you upgrade your libgtop2 packages. |
