Package name libxpm4 Date September 15th, 2004 Advisory ID MDKSA-2004:098 Affected versions 9.2, 10.0, CS2.1 Synopsis Updated libxpm4 packages fix libXpm overflow vulnerabilities

Problem Description

Chris Evans found several stack and integer overflows in the libXpm code
of X.Org/XFree86 (from which the libxpm code is derived):

Stack overflows (CAN-2004-0687):

Careless use of strcat() in both the XPMv1 and XPMv2/3 xpmParseColors code
leads to a stack based overflow (parse.c).

Stack overflow reading pixel values in ParseAndPutPixels (create.c) as
well as ParsePixels (parse.c).

Integer Overflows (CAN-2004-0688):

Integer overflow allocating colorTable in xpmParseColors (parse.c) -
probably a crashable but not exploitable offence.

The updated packages have patches from Chris Evans and Matthieu Herrb
to address these vulnerabilities.
