I've sent report about the following security hole to the authors of gpm, but they seemed to ignore the problem. The problem applies to every gpm version known by me, for example 1.18.1 and 1.19.0.
Well, if you would check README in 1.19.0 version, you would notice following fragment: =========== MAINTAINANCE As of 1.19.0, gpm is officially unmaintained. I can't do it any more, and nobody expressed interest in it. So I don't think it is fair to blame someone who spent a great deal of their time doing gpm and has just quit it. Instead of blaming them how about making up a patch and telling everybody "here's a patch which fixes this problem". FWIW, Adam
