[LINK] Big patch for big hole in Google Desktop

[Rick Welykochy]

Are any Linkers actually using Google Desktop? The concept has always
scared the willies out of me.

   "Google Desktop allows users to search and index the contents
    of their PCs in the same way that Google.com does on the Web.
    The flaw was discovered by Waltham, Mass.-based Web application
    security vendor Watchfire Inc. and reported to Google on Jan 4.

    The vulnerability is the result of the integration between
    Google.com and Google Desktop, as well as Google Desktop's
    failure to properly encode output containing malicious characters,
    Watchfire said in a white paper released today."
