OpenMotif, LessTif: New libXpm buffer overflows Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200503-08 (OpenMotif, LessTif: New libXpm buffer overflows) Chris Gilbert discovered potentially exploitable buffer overflow cases in libXpm that weren't fixed in previous libXpm security advisories. Impact A carefully-crafted XPM file could crash applications making use of the OpenMotif or LessTif toolkits, potentially permiting the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the application. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
