|
|
desktop environment on modest hardware.

Gregory Andersen reported that the Xfce4 panel does not correctly
|
|
calculate memory boundaries, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow
|
|
in the launcher_update_panel_entry() function (CVE-2007-6531). Daichi
|
|
Kawahata reported libxfcegui4 did not copy provided values when
|
|
creating "SessionClient" structs, possibly leading to access of freed
|
|
memory areas (CVE-2007-6532).

|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user to install a specially crafted
|
|
"rc" file to execute arbitrary code via long strings in the "Name" and
|
|
"Comment" fields or via unspecified vectors involving the second
|
|
vulnerability.

There is no known workaround at this time.

|
|
<code>
|

# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=xfce-base/xfce4-panel-4.4.2"</code>
