Fedora: xorg-x11-6.8.1-12.FC3.1 update
Summary
X.org X11 is an open source implementation of the X Window System. It
provides the basic low level functionality which full fledged
graphical user interfaces (GUIs) such as GNOME and KDE are designed
upon.
Update Information:
Several integer overflow flaws in the X.Org libXpm library used to decode
XPM (X PixMap) images have been found and addressed. An attacker could
create a carefully crafted XPM file which would cause an application to
crash or potentially execute arbitrary code if opened by a victim. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned
the name CAN-2004-0914 to this issue.
Users are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain
backported security patches as well as other bug fixes.

- Added xorg-x11-6.7.0-xpm-security-fixes-CAN-2004-0914.patch to fix a
number of Xpm issues found by Thomas Biege <thomas@suse.de>
