Created attachment 425652 [details] ASan output I discovered that a crafted .desktop file is able to cause an heap-based buffer overflow I'm waiting for a feedback.
Could you tell me situations in which this might be used to manage untrusted files?

Well, strictly speaking .desktop files can come from many sources, including the Gentoo tree or third party overlays. I do not expect such files to be security relevant so I don't always fully audit it myself (mea culpa). So if it can be exploitable there could be some attack vectors applicable from such a file in general.
(In reply to Jason A. Donenfeld from comment #1) > Could you tell me situations in which this might be used to manage untrusted > files? is Kristian's response enough?
No. Could you please tell me a vector that makes this a security vulnerability?
this can be public now,
