Gnome: Security Vulnerabilities
vicious-extensions/ve-misc.c in GNOME Display Manager (gdm) 2.20.x before 2.20.11, when GDM debug is enabled, logs the user password when it contains invalid UTF8 encoded characters, which might allow local users to gain privileges by reading the information from syslog logs.

Multiple off-by-one errors in the (1) token and (2) linetoken functions in backend/dvi/mdvi-lib/afmparse.c in t1lib, as used in teTeX 3.0.x, GNOME evince, and possibly other products, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a DVI file containing a crafted Adobe Font Metrics (AFM) file, different vulnerabilities than CVE-2010-2642 and CVE-2011-0433.

GNOME gnome-keyring 3.4.0 through 3.4.1, when gpg-cache-method is set to "idle" or "timeout," does not properly limit the amount of time a passphrase is cached, which allows attackers to have an unspecified impact via unknown attack vectors.

librsvg before 2.34.1 uses the node name to identify the type of node, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a SVG file with a node with the element name starting with "fe," which is misidentified as a RsvgFilterPrimitive.

The register_application function in atk-adaptor/bridge.c in GNOME at-spi2-atk 2.5.2 does not seed the random number generator and generates predictable temporary file names, which makes it easier for local users to create or truncate files via a symlink attack on a temporary socket file in /tmp/at-spi2.

libgdata before 0.10.2 and 0.11.x before 0.11.1 does not validate SSL certificates, which allows remote attackers to obtain user names and passwords via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack with a spoofed certificate.
