The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200409-34 (X.org, XFree86: Integer and stack overflows in libXpm)
Chris Evans has discovered multiple integer and stack overflow vulnerabilities in the X Pixmap library, libXpm, which is a part of the X Window System. These overflows can be exploited by the execution of a malicious XPM file, which can crash applications that are dependent on libXpm.
Impact :
A carefully-crafted XPM file could crash applications that are linked against libXpm, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
