+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities, including buffer overflows, out of
+ bounds memory access and directory traversals, have been discovered in
+ libXpm, which is shipped as a part of the X Window System. LessTif, an
+ application that includes libXpm, suffers from the same issues.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A carefully-crafted XPM file could crash applications making use
+ of the LessTif toolkit, 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 --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=x11-libs/lesstif-0.94.0"</code>
