xpcd 2.0.8 Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
A problem in the handling of long strings in environment variables by xpcd may result in a buffer overflow condition. This may allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to system resources. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious string and passing it as an argument to the xpcd binary. This will cause a buffer overflow and overwrite the return address of the stack, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to the latest version of xpcd.
