  <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.
    </p>

  <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>
