Discussion
gmanedit Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities
Gnome Manual Pages Editor ('gmanedit') is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input.
Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial of service.
These issues affect gmanedit 0.4.1; other versions may also be affected.
