Description The issue allows local users to gain privileges via the DEBUG FILE environment variable. This variable is used to create world-writable files when the libXm library is run from a setuid program.

Recommendations For versions 0.95.0 and earlier, consider restricting access to the DEBUG FILE environment variable to prevent the creation of world-writable files when libXm is run from a setuid program. As a temporary workaround, avoid running libXm from setuid programs until a fix is available.
