Description

Stack-based buffer overflow in the Panel (xfce4-panel) component in Xfce before 4.4.2 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via Launcher tooltips. NOTE: a second buffer overflow (over-read) in the xfce_mkdirhier function was also reported, but it might not be exploitable for a crash or code execution, so it is not a vulnerability.

Solution(s)

  • gentoo-linux-upgrade-xfce-base-libxfcegui4
  • gentoo-linux-upgrade-xfce-base-xfce4-panel
