<title>OpenMotif, AMD64 x86 emulation X libraries: Buffer overflows in libUil library</title>
<synopsis>
Two buffer overflows have been discovered in libUil, part of the OpenMotif
toolkit, that can potentially lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

<p>
OpenMotif provides a free version of the Motif toolkit for open source
applications. The OpenMotif libraries are included in the AMD64 x86
emulation X libraries, which emulate the x86 (32-bit) architecture on
the AMD64 (64-bit) architecture.

<description>
<p>
xfocus discovered two potential buffer overflows in the libUil library,
in the diag_issue_diagnostic and open_source_file functions.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="low">
<p>
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.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All OpenMotif users should upgrade to an unaffected version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --unmerge --verbose x11-libs/openmotif
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose x11-libs/openmotif</code>
<p>
All AMD64 x86 emulation X libraries users should upgrade to the latest
version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs</code>
</resolution>
