Synopsis ========
A new vulnerability has been discovered in libXpm, which is included in X.org, that can potentially lead to remote code execution.
Background ==========
libXpm is a pixmap manipulation library for the X Window System, included in X.org.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 x11-base/xorg-x11 < 6.8.2-r1 *>= 6.8.0-r5 >= 6.8.2-r1
Description ===========
Chris Gilbert has discovered potentially exploitable buffer overflow cases in libXpm that weren't fixed in previous libXpm versions.
Impact ======
A carefully-crafted XPM file could crash X.org, 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 X.org users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose x11-base/xorg-x11
