<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted
XPM image, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code
with the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of
Service.

</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>

<p>
All Imlib2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/imlib2-1.4.2-r1&quot;</code>
