Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.68249
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2010:161 (vte)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to vte
announced via advisory MDVSA-2010:161.

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in vte:

The vte_sequence_handler_window_manipulation function in vteseq.c
in libvte (aka libvte9) in VTE 0.25.1 and earlier, as used in
gnome-terminal, does not properly handle escape sequences, which
allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands or obtain
potentially sensitive information via a (1) window title or (2) icon
title sequence. NOTE: this issue exists because of a CVE-2003-0070
regression (CVE-2010-2713).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Affected: 2009.1, 2010.0, 2010.1

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
