<p>
|
|
A local attacker could entice a user to run the Eye of GNOME from a
|
|
directory containing a specially crafted python module, resulting in
|
|
the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running

|
the application.

|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>

|
Do not run "eog" from untrusted working directories.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
