3. Problem description:

LessTif provides libraries which implement the Motif industry standard
graphical user interface.

An integer overflow flaw was found in libXpm; a vulnerable version of this
library is found within LessTif. An attacker could create a malicious XPM
file that would execute arbitrary code if opened by a victim using an
application linked to LessTif. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0605 to this issue.

Users of LessTif should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch to correct this issue.
