MDKSA-2005:102: gedit

Vulnerability Assessment Summary Check for the version of the gedit package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:102 (gedit). A vulnerability was discovered in gEdit where it was possible for a possible hacker 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.
