Window Maker is an X11 window manager that emulates the look and feel
of the NeXTSTEP graphical user interface.
Al Viro found a buffer overflow in Window Maker 0.80.0 and earlier which
may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through a certain
image file that is not properly handled when Window Maker uses width and
height information to allocate a buffer. A user can exploit this
vulnerability, for example, by opening a malicious theme.
Users of Window Maker are advised to upgrade to these updated packages
which contain a patch to correct this vulnerability.
