Package name libgtop2
Date January 18th, 2007
Advisory ID MDKSA-2007:023
Affected versions 2007.0

Problem Description

Stack-based buffer overflow in the glibtop_get_proc_map_s function in
libgtop before 2.14.6 (libgtop2) allows local users to cause a denial
of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a process
with a long filename that is mapped in its address space, which
triggers the overflow in gnome-system-monitor.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem.
