<affected>
<package name="x11-libs/libXpm" auto="yes" arch="*">
<unaffected range="ge">3.5.12</unaffected>
<vulnerable range="lt">3.5.12</vulnerable>

<background>
<p>The X PixMap image format is an extension of the monochrome X BitMap
format specified in the X protocol, and is commonly used in traditional X
applications.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>An integer overflow was discovered in libXpm’s src/CrDatFrI.c file.
On 64 bit systems, this allows an overflow to occur on 32 bit integers
while parsing XPM extensions in a file.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>A remote attacker, by enticing a user to process a specially crafted XPM
file, could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or
cause a Denial of Service condition.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All libXpm users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-libs/libXpm-3.5.12"
</code>
