Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
Pidgin opens file:// links to local executables (at with XMPP) using Ubuntu Jaunty.
E.g. the these links are harmful:
Go to <a href="file:
Go to <a href="file:
Go to <a href="file:
and so on. This works also:
Go to <a href="/
Same problem with gajim. Since both problems are introduced with jaunty it might be the same bug?
security vulnerability: | yes → no |
