tag_insight = "Newt is a programming library for color text mode, widget-based user
  interfaces. Newt can be used to add stacked windows, entry widgets,
  checkboxes, radio buttons, labels, plain text fields, scrollbars, and so
  on, to text mode user interfaces.

  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)
  
  Users of newt should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
  backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the updated
  packages, all applications using the newt library must be restarted for the
  update to take effect.";
