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.
