Detail

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)

The following packages are affected:

lesstif1

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 1:0.93.94-4ubuntu1.4. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

USN-83-1 fixed some vulnerabilities in the "lesstif2" library. The older "lesstif1" library was also affected, however, a fix was not yet available at that time. This USN fixes the flaws for lesstif1.

Please note that there are no supported applications that use this library, so this only affects you if you use third-party applications which use lesstif1.

For your convenience, here is the relevant part of the USN-83-1 description:

Several vulnerabilities have been found in the XPM image decoding
functions of the LessTif library. If an attacker tricked a user into
loading a malicious XPM image with an application that uses LessTif,
he could exploit this to execute arbitrary code in the context of
the user opening the image.

Ubuntu does not contain any server applications using LessTif, so
there is no possibility of privilege escalation.

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.
