CVE-2023-43789 [MEDIUM] libXpm vulnerabilities
Title: libXpm vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in libXpm.
USN-6408-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in libXpm. This update provides
the corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Original advisory details:
Yair Mizrahi discovered that libXpm incorrectly handled certain malformed
XPM image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted
XPM image file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to consume
memory, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2023-43786)

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
