libxpm4 vulnerability Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - lbxproxy - libdps-dev - libdps1 - libdps1-dbg - libice-dev - libice6 - libice6-dbg - libsm-dev - libsm6 - libsm6-dbg - libx11-6 - libx11-6-dbg - libx11-dev - libxaw6 - libxaw6-dbg - libxaw6-dev - libxaw7 - libxaw7-dbg - libxaw7-dev - libxext-dev - libxext6 - libxext6-dbg - libxft1 - libxft1-dbg - libxi-dev - libxi6 - libxi6-dbg - libxmu-dev - libxmu6 - libxmu6-dbg - libxmuu-dev - libxmuu1 - libxmuu1-dbg - libxp-dev - l [...] Description : Chris Evans discovered several stack overflows in the versions of libXpm shipped by X.Org, XFree86, and LessTif. These overflows were fixed in the Warty development tree before its release. Mathieu Herrb of OpenBSD subsequently discovered that the original patch was insufficient to address these overflows, and thus the version of libxpm4 shipped with Warty is still vulnerable to the original overflows. These overflows do not permit privilege escalation through the X server the overflows are in a client-side library, permiting arbitrary code execution with the rights of the user viewing a malicious pixmap. Solution : Upgrade to : - lbxproxy-4.3.0.dfsg.1-6ubuntu25.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libdps-dev-4.3.0.dfsg.1-6ubuntu25.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libdps1-4.3.0.dfsg.1-6ubuntu25.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libdps1-dbg-4.3.0.dfsg.1-6ubuntu25.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libice-dev-4.3.0.dfsg.1-6ubuntu25.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libice6-4.3.0.dfsg.1-6ubuntu25.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libice6-dbg-4.3.0.dfsg.1-6ubuntu25.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libsm-dev-4.3.0.dfsg.1-6ubuntu25.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libsm6-4.3.0.dfsg.1-6ubuntu25.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libsm6-dbg-4.3.0.dfsg.1-6ubuntu25.1 (U [...] Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
