programming language.

<p>
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 type="normal">
<p>
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.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>

</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-ruby/ruby-gtk2-0.16.0-r2"</code>
</resolution>
