A vulnerability has been found and corrected in vte: The vte_sequence_handler_window_manipulation function in vteseq.c in libvte in VTE 0.25.1 and earlier, as used in gnome-terminal, does not properly handle escape sequences, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands or obtain potentially sensitive information via a window title or icon title sequence. NOTE: this issue exists because of a CVE-2003-0070 regression . The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
