Vulnerability CVE-2007-6531
Published: 2008-01-09   Modified: 2012-02-12

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.

Type:

CWE-119

 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer)
