Updated lesstif packages that fix flaws in the Xpm library are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.

This update has been rated as having Moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

graphical user interface.

application linked to LessTif. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
