Problem description: X.Org X11 is the X Window System which provides the core functionality of the Linux GUI desktop. An integer overflow flaw was found in libXpm, which is used by some applications for loading of XPM images. An attacker could create a carefully crafted XPM file in such a way that it could cause an application linked with libXpm to execute arbitrary code when the file was opened by a victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0605 to this issue. Since the initial release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, a number of issues have been addressed in the X.Org X11 X Window System. This erratum also updates X11R6.8 to the latest stable point release (6.8.2), which includes various stability and reliability fixes including (but not limited to) the following: - - The 'radeon' driver has been modified to disable "RENDER" acceleration Option "RenderAccel" - - The 'vmware' video driver is now available on 64-bit AMD64 and - - The Intel 'i810' video driver is now available on 64-bit EM64T - - Stability fixes in the X Server's PCI handling layer for 64-bit systems, - - Support for Hewlett Packard's Itanium ZX2 chipset. - - Nvidia "nv" video driver update provides support for some of - - Intel i810 video driver stability update, which fixes the widely - - Packaging fixes for multilib systems, which permit both 32-bit In addition to the above highlights, the X.Org X11 6.8.2 release has a large number of additional stability fixes which resolve various other issues reported since the initial release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. All users of X11 should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues. 4.
