Subject: XPM vulnerability as well present in lesstif

Package: lesstif2
Version: 1:0.93.94-8
Severity: grave
Tags: security

Hi,
the recent XPM vulnerabilities affect lesstif as well, as they seem to
include a forked version in their distribution. See this CVS commit
message for the concrete fix:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3D5594360&forum_id=
=3D30340

Latest upstream fixes the problem as well.

I'm setting this severity to "grave", as the other XPM vulnerabilities
claimed to allow remote code execution. If this is not the case with
lesstif feel free to downgrade the severity.

Cheers,
         Moritz
