<title>X.org, XFree86: Integer and stack overflows in libXpm</title>
<synopsis>
libXpm, the X Pixmap library that is a part of the X Window System,
contains multiple stack and integer overflows that may allow a
carefully-crafted XPM file to crash applications linked against libXpm,
potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.

XFree86 and X.org are both implementations of the X Window System.

<description>
<p>
Chris Evans has discovered multiple integer and stack overflow
vulnerabilities in the X Pixmap library, libXpm, which is a part of the
X Window System. These overflows can be exploited by the execution of a
malicious XPM file, which can crash applications that are dependent on
libXpm.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A carefully-crafted XPM file could crash applications that are linked
against libXpm, 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 X.org users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv &quot;&gt;=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r2&quot;
# emerge &quot;&gt;=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r2&quot;</code>
<p>
All XFree86 users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv &quot;&gt;=x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r7&quot;
# emerge &quot;&gt;=x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r7&quot;</code>
<p>
Note: Usage of XFree86 is deprecated on the AMD64, HPPA, IA64, MIPS,
PPC and SPARC architectures: XFree86 users on those architectures
should switch to X.org rather than upgrading XFree86.
