CVE-2022-4883

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libXpm (affected versions not specified)

Description A flaw was found in libXpm. When processing files with .Z or .gz extensions, the library calls external programs to compress and uncompress files, relying on the PATH environment variable to find these programs, which could allow a malicious user to execute other programs by manipulating the PATH environment variable. This could potentially allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
