The gtop daemon, used for monitoring remote machines, contains a buffer overflow which could be used by an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the daemon process. If started as root, the daemon process drops root privileges, assuming uid and gid 99 by default.

This bug was previously fixed in DSA-098, but one of the patches was not carried over to later versions of libgtop.
