Multiple vulnerabilities, including buffer overflows, out of
|
|
|
|
|
bounds memory access and directory traversals, have been discovered in
|
|
|
|
|
libXpm, which is shipped as a part of the X Window System. LessTif, an
|
|
|
|
|
application that includes libXpm, suffers from the same issues.

<p>
|
|
|
|
|
A carefully-crafted XPM file could crash applications making use
|
|
|
|
|
of the LessTif toolkit, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary
|
|
|
|
|
code with the privileges of the user running the application.

<workaround>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
