Synopsis ========
A format string error has been discovered in Ruby-GNOME2, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code.
Background ==========
Ruby-GNOME2 is a set of bindings for using GTK+ within the Ruby programming language.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-ruby/ruby-gtk2 < 0.16.0-r2 >= 0.16.0-r2
Description ===========
Chris Rohlf discovered that the "Gtk::MessageDialog.new()" method in the file gtk/src/rbgtkmessagedialog.c does not properly sanitize the "message" parameter before passing it to the gtk_message_dialog_new() function.
Impact ======
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted string to an application using Ruby-GNOME2, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All Ruby-GNOME2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-ruby/ruby-gtk2-0.16.0-r2"
