Vulnerability in XFree86 server for Sun Java Desktop System

Madrid, October 4, 2005 - Sun has reported, on its website, a vulnerability in the XFree86 server, which could allow an un privileged local user to run arbitrary code with the privileges of the server.

The security flaw affects Sun Java Desktop System Release 2 and is due to an integer overflow in the X Pixmap (Xpm) format image file creation routines.

To avoid this problem, Sun recommends installing the RPM updated with patch 10490. To do this, in the ´launch´ menu select the options ´Launch´, ´Applications´, ´System Tools´ and finally ´Online Update´. More information about this error and its solution is available at: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-101953-1
