Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51872
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu 4.10 USN-97-1 (xfree86)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to xfree86
announced via advisory USN-97-1.

Chris Gilbert discovered a buffer overflow in the XPM library shipped
with XFree86. If an attacker tricked a user into loading a malicious
XPM image with an application that uses libxpm, he could exploit this
to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user opening the
image.

These overflows do not allow privilege escalation through the X
server
the overflows are in a client-side library.

The following packages are affected:

libxpm4
libxpm4-dbg

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6ubuntu25.2. In general, a standard system upgrade is
sufficient to effect the necessary changes.
