Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in rxvt-unicode, which potentially can be exploited by malicious, local users to manipulate or access sensitive information.
The problem is that rxvt-unicode keeps open file handlers to other terminal windows when spawning children. This may potentially allow access to arbitrary terminal windows.
