Related Overview of a Vulnerability
Vulnerabilities are introduced by developers when they create a new software or file. Developers may not be aware of what they are doing, which can lead to vulnerabilities. The most common type of vulnerability is the buffer overflow. A buffer overflow occurs when the size of a piece of data that has been allocated to store in memory is greater than the amount of space allocated for it. It's a problem because this piece of data overflows into other parts of your program's memory space and overwrites other parts causing them to malfunction or crash.
It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-212082. A vulnerability was discovered in the function _XSetEventHandlerOf the file X.MFL.
