Fedora Core 3 : xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.13 (2005-273)

high Nessus Plugin ID 19641

Synopsis

The remote Fedora Core host is missing a security update.

Description

An integer overflow flaw was found in libXpm, which is used by some applications for loading of XPM images. An attacker could create a malicious XPM file that would execute arbitrary code if opened by a victim using an application linked to the vulnerable library. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2005-0605 to this issue.

Furthermore, this updates the Fedora Core 3 X.org packages to the 6.8.2 maintenance release, which includes a large number of bug fixes :

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
