Background ========== OpenMotif provides a free version of the Motif toolkit for open source applications. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 x11-libs/openmotif < 2.2.3 >= 2.2.3 Description =========== Multiple vulnerabilities, such as buffer overflows, out of bounds memory access or directory traversals, have been discovered in libXpm that is shipped as a part of the X Window System (see GLSA 200409-34 and 200411-28). OpenMotif, an application that includes this library, suffers from the same issues. Impact ====== A carefully-crafted XPM file could crash applications making use of the OpenMotif toolkit, 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 the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-libs/openmotif-2.2.3" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2004-0687 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0687 [ 2 ] CAN-2004-0688 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0688 [ 3 ] CAN-2004-0914 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0914 [ 4 ] GLSA 200409-34 http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200409-34.xml [ 5 ] GLSA 200411-28 http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200411-28.xml Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200502-07.xml 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.
