(LessTif: Multiple vulnerabilities in libXpm)

    Multiple vulnerabilities, including buffer overflows, out of
    bounds memory access and directory traversals, have been discovered in
    libXpm, which is shipped as a part of the X Window System. LessTif, an
    application that includes libXpm, suffers from the same issues.
  
Impact :

    A carefully-crafted XPM file could crash applications making use
    of the LessTif toolkit, 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."
