Detail
| Erik Sjölund discovered that programs linked against xview are vulnerable to a number of buffer overflows in the XView library. When the overflow is triggered in a program which is installed setuid root a malicious user could perhaps execute arbitrary code as privileged user. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 3.2p1.4-16woody2. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 3.2p1.4-19. We recommend that you upgrade your xview packages. |

| 13672 | XView xv_parse_one() Local Overflow A local overflow exists in xview. xview fails to verify the boundary in the xv_parse_one() function in xv_parser.c resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause the execution of arbitrary code with privileges via a setuid application linked against the library resulting in a loss of integrity. |
