Description |
A local overflow exists in xpcd. The xpcd fails to check the boundary of the HOME environment variable, resulting in a buffer overflow. By sending a long string to $Home, a local attacker can overflow the buffer and execute arbitrary code on the server with elevated privileges, resulting in a loss of integrity.
