+ <title>OpenMotif, LessTif: New libXpm buffer overflows</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ A new vulnerability has been discovered in libXpm, which is included in
+ OpenMotif and LessTif, that can potentially lead to remote code execution.

+ LessTif is a clone of OSF/Motif, which is a standard user
+ interface toolkit available on Unix and Linux. OpenMotif also provides
+ a free version of the Motif toolkit for open source applications.

+ Chris Gilbert discovered potentially exploitable buffer overflow
+ cases in libXpm that weren't fixed in previous libXpm security
+ advisories.

+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A carefully-crafted XPM file could crash applications making use
+ of the OpenMotif or LessTif toolkits, 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 OpenMotif users should upgrade to an unaffected version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose x11-libs/openmotif</code>
+ <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-r2"</code>
