Description:
Gentoo has issued an update for multi-gnome-terminal. This fixes a potential security issue, which may expose sensitive information.
The problem is that the Gentoo build multi-gnome-terminal includes debugging functionality, which logs keystrokes to ".xsession-errors". The file ".xsession-errors" is world readable but is located in the user's home directory and is therefore normally not accessible by other users.
