AI-suggested
Red Hat has released security updates for libXpm to address CVE-2026-4367. Users of Red Hat Hardened Images should apply the updated RPMs libXpm-3.5.17-7.2.hum1 or later (including libXpm-3.5.19-4.hum1) as provided in the Red Hat advisories RHSA-2026:30354 and RHSA-2026:47072. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisories. No alternative mitigations or workarounds are specified.
Description
A flaw was found in libXpm. A local user with low privileges could exploit an Out-of-Bounds Read vulnerability in the `xpmNextWord()` function by processing a specially crafted or very small XPM (X PixMap) image file. This improper validation of file boundaries can cause an internal pointer to read beyond the file's end, leading to application crashes and Denial of Service conditions.
