interface toolkit available on Unix and Linux.

<description>
<p>
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>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<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.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All LessTif users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=x11-libs/lesstif-0.94.0&quot;</code>
</resolution>
