Description:   Opened: 2008-12-08 19:39 0000 
Description:
A vulnerability has been discovered in Vinagre, which can be exploited by
malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error within the
"vinagre_utils_show_error()" function in src/vinagre-utils.c. This can be
exploited by e.g. tricking a user into opening a specially crafted .vnc file.

Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.24.0. Other versions may also be
affected.

Reproducible: Always

vinagre 0.5.2 and 2.24.2 are in portage tree now - they contain the obvious
fix.

Arches, please stabilize net-misc/vinagre-0.5.2

  Format string vulnerability in the vinagre_utils_show_error function
  (src/vinagre-utils.c) in Vinagre 0.5.x before 0.5.2 and 2.x before
