Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.12.2005.97.1
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-97-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'xfree86' package(s) announced via the USN-97-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'xfree86' package(s) announced via the USN-97-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
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.

Affected Software/OS:
'xfree86' package(s) on Ubuntu 4.10.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
7.5
