Detail

Søren Sandmann discovered a bug in memory allocation for pixmap images, that can cause a crash of the X server or to execute arbitrary code.

The update for the old stable distribution (woody) also contains a different correction for multiple vulnerabilities in libXpm (DSA 607, CAN-2004-0914, Bug#309143), since the old fix contained a regression.

For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 4.1.0-16woody7.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 of X.Org.

We recommend that you upgrade your xfree86 and xorg packages.

Title: Multiple vulnerabilities in libXpm for 6.8.1 and earlier, as used in XFree86 and other packages, include (1) multiple integer overflows, (2) out-of-bounds memory accesses, (3) directory traversal, (4) shell metacharacter, (5) endless loops, and (6) memory leaks, which could allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service (application crash), or execute arbitrary code via a certain XPM image file. NOTE: it is highly likely that this candidate will be SPLIT into other candidates in the future, per CVE's content decisions.
