Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.53048 |
Category: | Mandrake Local Security Checks |
Title: | Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:102 (gedit) |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: The remote host is missing an update to gedit announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:102. A vulnerability was discovered in gEdit where it was possible for an attacker to create a file with a carefully crafted name which, when opened, executed arbitrary code on the victim's computer. It is highly unlikely that a user would open such a file, due to the file name, but could possibly be tricked into opening it. The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem. Affected versions: 10.1, 10.2, Corporate 3.0 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2005:102 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 2.6 |
