Chris Rohlf discovered that the "Gtk::MessageDialog.new()" method in
|
||
|
|
the file gtk/src/rbgtkmessagedialog.c does not properly sanitize the
|
||
|
|
"message" parameter before passing it to the gtk_message_dialog_new()
|
||
|
|
function.

|
|

<p>
|

|
|
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted string to an
|
||
|
|
application using Ruby-GNOME2, possibly leading to the execution of
|
||
|
|
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

</impact>
|

|
|
<workaround>
|

|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

All Ruby-GNOME2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
