- (rxvt-unicode: Buffer overflow)
-
-
- Rob Holland of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered
- that rxvt-unicode fails to properly check input length.
-
- Impact
-
- Successful exploitation would allow an attacker to execute
- arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running rxvt-unicode.
-
- Workaround
-
- There is no known workaround at this time.
-
- References:

-
-
- Solution:
- All rxvt-unicode users should upgrade to the latest version:
- # emerge --sync
- # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-terms/rxvt-unicode-5.3"
-
-
- Risk factor : Medium
