libXpm, the X Pixmap library that is a part of the X Window System, contains multiple stack and integer overflows that may allow a carefully-crafted XPM file to crash applications linked against libXpm, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.

Solution

Solution

All X.org users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv '>=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r2' # emerge '>=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r2' All XFree86 users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv '>=x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r7' # emerge '>=x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r7' Note: Usage of XFree86 is deprecated on the AMD64, HPPA, IA64, MIPS, PPC and SPARC architectures: XFree86 users on those architectures should switch to X.org rather than upgrading XFree86. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=GLSA%20200409-34 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64152 http://freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2004-September/003196.html http://freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2004-September/003172.html
