Multiple buffer overflows in libUil (libUil.so) in OpenMotif 2.2.3, and possibly other versions, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via the (1) diag_issue_diagnostic function in UilDiags.c and (2) open_source_file function in UilSrcSrc.c.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06, has motif packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  - Multiple buffer overflows in libUil (libUil.so) in OpenMotif 2.2.3, and possibly other versions, allows     attackers to execute arbitrary code via the (1) diag_issue_diagnostic function in UilDiags.c and (2)     open_source_file function in UilSrcSrc.c. (CVE-2005-3964)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Red Hat Network Satellite Server version 4.2.3 is now available. This update includes fixes for a number of security issues in Red Hat Network Satellite Server components.

This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

This release corrects several security vulnerabilities in various components shipped as part of the Red Hat Network Satellite Server 4.2. In a typical operating environment, these components are not exposed to users of Satellite Server in a vulnerable manner. These security updates will reduce risk in unique Satellite Server environments.

Users of Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.0 are advised to upgrade to 5.0.2, which resolves these issues.

Updated openmotif packages that fix a security issue are now available.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

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

A number of buffer overflow flaws were discovered in OpenMotif's libUil library. It is possible for an attacker to execute arbitrary code as a victim who has been tricked into executing a program linked against OpenMotif, which then loads a malicious User Interface Language (UIL) file. (CVE-2005-3964)

Users of OpenMotif are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain a backported security patch to correct this issue.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2006:0272 advisory.

  - openmotif libUil buffer overflows (CVE-2005-3964)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200512-16 (OpenMotif, AMD64 x86 emulation X libraries: Buffer overflows in libUil library)

    xfocus discovered two potential buffer overflows in the libUil library,     in the diag_issue_diagnostic and open_source_file functions.
  Impact :

    Remotely-accessible or SUID applications making use of the affected     functions might be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the     privileges of the user running the application.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
