MGASA-2012-0163
Date: 	July 13th, 2012
Affected releases: 	1, 2


Description:
Updated vte packages fix security vulnerability:

A denial of service flaw was found in the way VTE, a terminal emulator
widget, processed certain escape sequences with large repeat counts.
A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted file, which once
opened in a terminal using the VTE terminal emulator could lead to
excessive CPU consumption (CVE-2012-2738).
