Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56315
Category:	FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:	FreeBSD Ports: gedit
Summary:	FreeBSD Ports: gedit
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to the system as announced in the referenced advisory. 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. :http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bugtraq&m=111661117701398 http://www.vuxml.org/freebsd/e319da0b-a228-11da-b410-000e0c2e438a.html
