Package: lesstif1-1 Severity: grave Tags: security CAN-2004-0914 describes multiple security holes in libxpm:
Multiple vulnerabilities in libXpm for 6.8.1 and earlier, as used in XFree86 and other packages, include (1) multiple integer overflows, (2) out-of-bounds memory accesses, (3) directory traversal, (4) shell metacharacter, (5) endless loops, and (6) memory leaks, which could allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service (application crash), or execute arbitary code via a certain XPM image file. NOTE: it is highly likely that this candidate will be SPLIT into other candidates in the future, per CVE's content decisions. lesstif includes code derived from this library that is apparently also vulnerable. A new upstream release, 0.94.0, fixes these problems: http://www.lesstif.org/ReleaseNotes.html -- see shy jo
