| <p> |
| Chris Gilbert has discovered potentially exploitable buffer overflow |
| cases in libXpm that weren't fixed in previous libXpm versions. |
| </p> |
| </description> |
| <impact type="normal"> |
| <p> |
| A carefully-crafted XPM file could crash X.org, 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 X.org users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| </p> |
| <code> |
| # emerge --sync |
| # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose x11-base/xorg-x11</code> |
| </resolution> |
