MDKSA-2004:099: XFree86 |

Check for the version of the XFree86 package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2004:099 (XFree86). Chris Evans found several stack and integer overflows in the libXpm code of X.Org/XFree86: Stack overflows (CVE-2004-0687): Careless use of strcat() in both the XPMv1 and XPMv2/3 xpmParseColors code leads to a stack based overflow (parse.c). Stack overflow reading pixel values in ParseAndPutPixels (create.c) as well as ParsePixels (parse.c). Integer Overflows (CVE-2004-0688): Integer overflow allocating colorTable in xpmParseColors (parse.c) - probably a crashable but not exploitable offence. The updated packages have patches from Chris Evans and Matthieu Herrb to address these vulnerabilities.
