+ rxvt-unicode is a clone of the well known terminal emulator rxvt. +

+
+ +

+ Rob Holland of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered + that rxvt-unicode fails to properly check input length. +

+
+ +

+ Successful exploitation would allow an attacker to execute + arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running rxvt-unicode. +

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time. +

+
+ +

+ All rxvt-unicode users should upgrade to the latest version: +
