Multiple integer overflows in libXpm before 3.5.12, when a program requests parsing XPM extensions on a 64-bit platform, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or execute arbitrary code via (1) the number of extensions or (2) their concatenated length in a crafted XPM file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Multiple integer overflows in libXpm before 3.5.12, when a program requests parsing XPM extensions on a     64-bit platform, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or execute     arbitrary code via (1) the number of extensions or (2) their concatenated length in a crafted XPM file,     which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2016-10164)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

According to the versions of the motif packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

According to the versions of the libXpm, libXdmcp, libICE packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An integer overflow flaw leading to a heap-based buffer     overflow was found in libXpm. An attacker could use     this flaw to crash an application using libXpm via a     specially crafted XPM file. (CVE-2016-10164)

  - It was discovered that libXdmcp used weak entropy to     generate session keys. On a multi-user system using     xdmcp, a local attacker could potentially use     information available from the process list to brute     force the key, allowing them to hijack other users'     sessions. (CVE-2017-2625)

  - It was discovered that libICE used a weak entropy to     generate keys. A local attacker could potentially use     this flaw for session hijacking using the information     available from the process list. (CVE-2017-2626)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-3185-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that libXpm incorrectly handled certain XPM files. If a user or automated system were     tricked into opening a specially crafted XPM file, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause libXpm     to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Security fix for CVE-2016-10164

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201701-72 (libXpm: Remote execution of arbitrary code)

    An integer overflow was discovered in libXpm&rsquo;s src/CrDatFrI.c file.
      On 64 bit systems, this allows an overflow to occur on 32 bit integers       while parsing XPM extensions in a file.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker, by enticing a user to process a specially crafted XPM       file, could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or       cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Tobias Stoeckmann discovered that the libXpm library contained two integer overflow flaws, leading to a heap out-of-bounds write, while parsing XPM extensions in a file. An attacker can provide a specially crafted XPM file that, when processed by an application using the libXpm library, would cause a denial-of-service against the application, or potentially, the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

Tobias Stoeckmann discovered a vulnerability in the libXpm library that could cause a malicious attacker to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted XPM file.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1:3.5.10-1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxpm packages.
