======================================================================
X.Org Security Advisory: April 21, 2026

Issue in libXpm prior to version 3.5.19
======================================================================

An issue has been found in the libXpm library published by X.Org for which
we are releasing a security fix for in libXpm-3.5.19.

* CVE-2026-4367: libXpm Out-of-bounds read in xpmNextWord()

   libXpm uses a number of internal helper functions to parse the XPM file
   format.
   One of these internal functions, xpmNextString(), checks for the NULL
   terminator when looking for the end of the current string but not when
   looking for the beginning of the next string.
   A small XPM file with a malformed color table definition may cause the
   function xpmNextWord(), called from xpmParseColors() following a call
   to xpmNextString(), to start past the actual end of the file, causing
   an out-of-bound read.

   Introduced in: Unknown, prior to 3.5.5 (from Xorg 7.1)
   Fixed in: libXpm-3.5.19
