Posted by LinuxSecurity.com Team   
Fedora Several integer overflow flaws in the X.Org libXpm library used to decode XPM (X PixMap) images have been found and addressed. An attacker could create a carefully crafted XPM file which would cause an application to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code if opened by a victim.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2004-434
2004-11-17
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Product     : Fedora Core 3
Name        : xorg-x11
Version     : 6.8.1
Release     : 12.FC3.1
Summary     : The basic fonts, programs and docs for an X workstation.
Description :
X.org X11 is an open source implementation of the X Window System.  It
provides the basic low level functionality which full fledged
graphical user interfaces (GUIs) such as GNOME and KDE are designed
upon.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Several integer overflow flaws in the X.Org libXpm library used to decode
XPM (X PixMap) images have been found and addressed. An attacker could
create a carefully crafted XPM file which would cause an application to
crash or potentially execute arbitrary code if opened by a victim.  The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned
the name CAN-2004-0914 to this issue.

Users are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain
backported security patches as well as other bug fixes.
