Description Andreas Petersik 2005-10-11 13:48:39 UTC 
When an OpenMotif application tries to open an XPM Bitmap, the application is
terminated due to a buffer overflow.
The OpenMotif version 2.2.4 from www.opengroup.org/openmotif fixes the problem.

Looks like the only affected version of openmotif is the one from SL10.

Andreas P., can you please attach the xpm image that triggers the bug?
Comment 4 Thomas Biege 2005-10-12 13:11:07 UTC 
sorry, forgot to attach the image files.
Comment 5 Andreas Schwab 2005-10-13 10:04:22 UTC 
Where is the test case?
Comment 6 Thomas Biege 2005-10-13 10:43:08 UTC 
Andreas P,
can you attach a code snippet that is used to open the XPM files please.
Thanks.

motif bug known for years- with solution

openmotif 2.2.3 and 2.2.4 have a bug in TextF.C
multibyte characters trigger errors from which
the program can not recover. Applying the patch
for TextF.C fixes the problems, in addition problems
with pixmap loading are gone. In openmotif 2.4 and later
this bug will be fixed

i think #c7 provides the needed information.
Comment 9 Andreas Schwab 2006-04-11 09:30:03 UTC 
This has nothing to do with the bug.

Andreas P. can you help us here?
Comment 12 Andreas Jaeger 2007-02-01 13:12:40 UTC 
No reaction for 3 months.  What should happen?
Comment 13 Andreas Schwab 2007-02-01 13:24:32 UTC 
Can't do anything without a test case.
