VULHUB ™

The GNOME libgtop_daemon is used to monitor processes running on a remote Linux system running GNOME. Under some conditions, when a remote connection fails, user supplied input is used as a format string within a log message. A malicious user may construct a string including format modifiers, causing stack information to be written to the log file, and possibly leading to remote execution of arbitrary code. Older versions of libgtop_daemon may share this vulnerability.
