Description:   Opened: 2007-12-04 22:36 0000 
Upstream changelog for version 4.4.2 lists:
  # Allocate copy of passed cliend id, program name and working directory in
    session management, in case the application frees the data.
  # Properly deal with %-starting 'field codes' in commands from .desktop
files.

Not sure if those are vulnerabilities at all, I'm not that familiar with XFCE
code. Better safe than sorry, I'd say. ;)
Don't have any further details here either.

Bleh, sorry for the bug spam. Getting the summary right is hard. ;)
It was wrong before, should be better now, but I'm still not sure.

------- Comment #6 From Robert Buchholz 2007-12-22 13:21:58 0000 ------- 
All but MIPS stable on bug 201747, setting GLSA.

------- Comment #7 From Robert Buchholz 2007-12-22 15:44:29 0000 ------- 
The % issue is not a security problem, as it only means that %U and other
strings do not get removed from Exec calls in .desktop files.

------- Comment #8 From Robert Buchholz 2008-01-08 22:10:39 0000 ------- 
CVE-2007-6532 was assigned to the double free.

. . . I know the GLEP was already sent and posted to the forums, but you should
be aware that I finally removed the Upgrading section last month, as 4.2 was
removed from Portage a looooooong time ago. Even 4.4 and 4.4.1 have been
removed from the tree. Anyway, the upgrade path outlined in the guide no longer
exists; drac had been doing many ebuild changes so that it would have required
different procedures.

Users will have to visit CVS[1] to see the last version of the guide with that
chapter.

Thanks for pointing that out, I removed the reference.
