RHSA-2007:0019 - Security Advisory

Topic

Updated gtk2 packages that fix a security issue are now available.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

Description

The gtk2 package contains the GIMP ToolKit (GTK+), a library for creating
graphical user interfaces for the X Window System.

contain a backported patch to correct this issue.
