[Secure-testing-team] Bug#534731: stardict broadcasts clipboard context over network

[Pavel Machek]

Package: stardict
Version: 3.0.1-4.1
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole


In default config "enable net dict" is selected, it attempts to grab
clipboard and sends it over network... Unfortunately, not nearly all
data in clipboard are meant for translation, and some may be pretty
sensitive.
