Description

 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.
