CVE-2022-4883

A flaw was found in libXpm. When processing files with .Z or .gz extensions, the library calls external programs to compress and uncompress files, relying on the PATH environment variable to find these programs, which could allow a malicious user to execute other programs by manipulating the PATH environment variable.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is affected but out of support scope because libXpm is not listed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 ELS Inclusion List[1].
