Insight
It was discovered that ruby-gnome2, GNOME-related bindings for the Ruby language, didn't properly sanitize input prior to constructing dialogs.
This could allow for the execution of arbitary code if untrusted input is displayed within a dialog.
For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 0.15.0-1.1etch1.
For the old stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed in version 0.12.0-2sarge1.
