tag_insight = "A vulnerability was discovered and corrected in newt:
A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way newt processes
content that is to be displayed in a text dialog box. A local attacker
could issue a specially-crafted text dialog box display request
(direct or via a custom application), leading to a denial of service
(application crash) or, potentially, arbitrary code execution with the
privileges of the user running the application using the newt library
(CVE-2009-2905).
This update provides a solution to this vulnerability.
Affected: 2008.1, 2009.0, 2009.1, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0,
Enterprise Server 5.0, Multi Network Firewall 2.0";
