"A vulnerability exists with the GTK+ toolkit in that the GTK_MODULES
environment variable allows a local user to enter a directory path to
a module that does not necessarily need to be associated with GTK+.
With this, an attacker could create a custom module and load it using
the toolkit which could result in elevated privileges, the overwriting
of system files, and the execution of malicious code.

Update :

The packages for 7.2 and Single Network Firewall 7.2 were not signed
with our GnuPG key. Please note the changed MD5 values of the below
packages."
