The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200503-08 (OpenMotif, LessTif: New libXpm buffer overflows)
Chris Gilbert discovered potentially exploitable buffer overflow cases in libXpm that weren't fixed in previous libXpm security advisories.
Impact :
A carefully-crafted XPM file could crash applications making use of the OpenMotif or LessTif toolkits, 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.
