Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-753-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'gedit' package(s) announced via the DSA-753-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'gedit' package(s) announced via the DSA-753-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: A format string vulnerability has been discovered in gedit, a light-weight text editor for GNOME, that may allow attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a binary file with format string specifiers in the filename. Since gedit supports opening files via 'http://' URLs (through GNOME vfs) and other schemes, this might be a remotely exploitable vulnerability. The old stable distribution (woody) is not vulnerable to this problem. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 2.8.3-4sarge1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.10.3-1. We recommend that you upgrade your gedit package. Affected Software/OS: 'gedit' package(s) on Debian 3.1. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 2.6 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
