Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56315 |
Category: | FreeBSD Local Security Checks |
Title: | FreeBSD Ports: gedit |
Summary: | The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory. |
Description: | Summary: The remote host is missing an update to the system as announced in the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The following package is affected: gedit CVE-2005-1686 Format string vulnerability in gedit 2.10.2 may allow attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a bin file with format string specifiers in the filename. NOTE: while this issue is triggered on the command line by the gedit user, it has been reported that web browsers and email clients could be configured to provide a file name as an argument to gedit, so there is a valid attack that crosses security boundaries. Solution: Update your system with the appropriate patches or software upgrades. CVSS Score: 2.6 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P |
