    <p>
    OpenMotif provides a free version of the Motif toolkit for open source
    applications.

  <description>
    <p>
    Multiple vulnerabilities, such as buffer overflows, out of bounds
    memory access or directory traversals, have been discovered in libXpm
    that is shipped as a part of the X Window System (see GLSA 200409-34
    and 200411-28). OpenMotif, an application that includes this library,
    suffers from the same issues.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A carefully-crafted XPM file could crash applications making use of the
    OpenMotif 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 OpenMotif users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose x11-libs/openmotif</code>
    <p>
    Note: You should run 'revdep-rebuild' to ensure that all applications
    linked to OpenMotif are properly rebuilt.
    </p>
