Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:240
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________
Package : vinagre
Date : December 10, 2008
Affected: 2008.1, 2009.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Alfredo Ortega found a flaw in how Vinagre uses format strings.
A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability if they were able to
trick a user into connecting to a malicious VNC server, or opening a
specially crafted URI with Vinagre. With older versions of Vinagre,
it was possible to execute arbitrary code with user privileges.
In later versions, Vinagre would abort, leading to a denial of service.
The updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.
