+ <title>LessTif: Integer and stack overflows in libXpm</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in libXpm, which is included
+ in LessTif, that can potentially lead to remote code execution.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Chris Evans has discovered various integer and stack overflows in libXpm,
+ which is shipped as a part of the X Window System. LessTif, an application
+ that includes this library, is susceptible to the same issues.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A carefully-crafted XPM file could crash applications that are linked
+ against libXpm, such as LessTif, potentially allowing the execution of
+ arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All LessTif users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=x11-libs/lesstif-0.93.97"
+ # emerge "&gt;=x11-libs/lesstif-0.93.97"</code>
