The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200410-09 (LessTif: Integer and stack overflows in libXpm)

Chris Evans has discovered various integer and stack overflows in libXpm,     which is shipped as a part of the X Window System. LessTif, an application     that includes this library, is susceptible to the same issues.

Impact :

A carefully-crafted XPM file could crash applications that are linked     against libXpm, such as LessTif, potentially allowing the execution of     arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
