Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Updated lesstif package fixes image vulnerability
Advisory ID: RHSA-2005:004-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-004.html
Issue date: 2005-01-12
Updated on: 2005-01-12
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CAN-2004-0687 CAN-2004-0688 CAN-2004-0914
- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary:
An updated lesstif package that fixes flaws in the Xpm library is now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64
Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386
3. Problem description:
LessTif provides libraries which implement the Motif industry standard
graphical user interface.
During a source code audit, Chris Evans discovered several stack overflow
flaws and an integer overflow flaw in the libXpm library used to decode XPM
(X PixMap) images. A vulnerable version of this library was found within
Lesstif. An attacker could create a carefully crafted XPM file which would
cause an application to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code if
opened by a victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2004-0687,CAN-2004-0688, and
CAN-2004-0914 to these issues.
Users of LessTif are advised to upgrade to this erratum package, which
contains backported security patches to the embedded libXpm library.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat
Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat
Update Agent, use the following command:
up2date
