James Vega reported that gedit uses the current working directory when
|
||
|
|
searching for python modules, a vulnerability related to CVE-2008-5983.

<impact type="normal">
|

|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
A local attacker could entice a user to open gedit from a specially
|
||
|
|
crafted environment, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary
|
||
|
|
code with the privileges of the user running the application.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
</impact>
|
||
|
|
<workaround>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Do not run gedit from untrusted working directories.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
</workaround>
|
||
|
|
<resolution>

All gedit 2.22.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<code>
|
||
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
||
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-editors/gedit-2.22.3-r1"</code>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
All gedit 2.24.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<code>
|

|
|
# emerge --sync
|
