Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Kees Cook reports :

Janne Snabb discovered that applications using VTE, such as gnome-terminal, did not correctly filter window and icon title request escape codes. If a user were tricked into viewing specially crafted output in their terminal, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary commands with user privileges.

Solution

Update the affected package.
