It has been reported that Multi Gnome Terminal may output active user keystrokes to a file that is potentially world readable. According to the report, Gnome Multi Terminal "has been known to" (i.e. under some circumstances, which are unclear at this time) write keystroke data to ~/.xsession-errors. As this file can be world readable, this may result in a leak of confidential information to other local users.
