Background ========= 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. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 x11-libs/openmotif < 2.2.3-r3 > = 2.2.3-r3 *> = 2.1.30-r9 2 x11-libs/lesstif < 0.94.0-r2 > = 0.94.0-r2 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Description ========== Chris Gilbert discovered potentially exploitable buffer overflow cases in libXpm that weren't fixed in previous libXpm security advisories. Impact ===== A carefully-crafted XPM file could crash applications makinguse of the OpenMotif or LessTif toolkits, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All OpenMotif users should upgrade to an unaffected version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose x11-libs/openmotif All LessTif users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =x11-libs/lesstif-0.94.0-r2" References ========= [ 1 ] CAN-2005-0605 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2005-0605 Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200503-08 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us. Any security concerns should be addressed to
