Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:039

http://www.mandriva.com/security/

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Package : gedit

Date : February 16, 2009

Affected: 2008.1, 2009.0

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Problem Description:

 

Python has a variable called sys.path that contains all paths where

Python loads modules by using import scripting procedure. A wrong

handling of that variable enables local attackers to execute arbitrary

code via Python scripting in the current gedit working directory

(CVE-2009-0314).

 

This update provides fix for that vulnerability.
