script_tag(name:"insight", value:"The gnome-vfs2 packages provide the GNOME Virtual File System, which is the
foundation of the Nautilus file manager. neon is an HTTP and WebDAV client
library embedded in the gnome-vfs2 packages.
A denial of service flaw was found in the neon Extensible Markup Language
(XML) parser. Visiting a malicious DAV server with an application using
gnome-vfs2 (such as Nautilus) could possibly cause the application to
consume an excessive amount of CPU and memory. (CVE-2009-2473)
This update also fixes the following bugs:
* When extracted from the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), gnome-vfs2
returned escaped file paths. If a path, as stored in the URI,
contained non-ASCII characters or ASCII characters which are parsed as
something other than a file path (for example, spaces), the escaped path
was inaccurate. Consequently, files with the described type of URI could
not be processed. With this update, gnome-vfs2 properly unescapes paths
that are required for a system call. As a result, these paths are parsed
properly. (BZ#580855)
* In certain cases, the trash info file was populated by foreign
entries, pointing to live data. Emptying the trash caused an accidental
deletion of valuable data. With this update, a workaround has been applied
in order to prevent the deletion. As a result, the accidental data loss is
prevented, however further information is still gathered to fully fix this
problem. (BZ#586015)
ClearCase. This behavior significantly slowed down file operations. With
this update, the unnecessary stat() operations have been limited. As a
result, gnome-vfs2 user interfaces, such as Nautilus, are more responsive.
(BZ#822817)
All gnome-vfs2 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain backported patches to correct these issues.
