Synopsis ========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in libXpm, which is included in LessTif, that can potentially lead to remote code execution.
Background ==========
LessTif is a clone of OSF/Motif, which is a standard user interface toolkit available on Unix and Linux.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 x11-libs/lesstif < 0.94.0 >= 0.94.0
Description ===========
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.
Impact ======
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 ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All LessTif users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-libs/lesstif-0.94.0"
