CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2009:0005

GNOME VFS is the GNOME virtual file system. It provides a modular
architecture and ships with several modules that implement support for
various local and remote file systems as well as numerous protocols,
including HTTP, FTP, and others.

A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the GNOME virtual file system when
handling data returned by CDDB servers. If a user connected to a malicious
CDDB server, an attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on
the victim’s machine. (CVE-2005-0706)

Users of gnome-vfs and gnome-vfs2 are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. All
running GNOME sessions must be restarted for the update to take effect.
