Flaw bug created to hold information about an old flaw we knew something about. For more details see the MITRE CVE description.
An memory exhaustion flaw was found in the way VTE, a terminal emulator widget, processed certain character sequences. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted file, which once opened in a terminal using the VTE terminal emulator could lead to excessive memory and CPU consumption.
