49 | <impact type="normal"> |
50 | <p> |
51 | A local attacker could entice a user to open gedit from a specially |
52 | crafted environment, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary |
53 | code with the privileges of the user running the application. |
54 | </p> |
55 | </impact> |
56 | <workaround> |
57 | <p> |
58 | Do not run gedit from untrusted working directories. |
59 | </p> |
60 | </workaround> |
61 | <resolution> |
62 | <p> |
63 | All gedit 2.22.x users should upgrade to the latest version: |
64 | </p> |
65 | <code> |
66 | # emerge --sync |
67 | # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-editors/gedit-2.22.3-r1"</code> |
68 | <p> |
69 | All gedit 2.24.x users should upgrade to the latest version: |
70 | </p> |
71 | <code> |
72 | # emerge --sync |
73 | # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-editors/gedit-2.24.3"</code> |
