Netpbm is a package of 220 graphics programs and a programming library,
including pnmtopng, a tool to convert PNM image files to the PNG
format.
</p>

<description>
<p>
RedHat reported that pnmtopng is vulnerable to a buffer overflow.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker could craft a malicious PNM file and entice a user to run
pnmtopng on it, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary
code with the permissions of the user running pnmtopng.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Netpbm users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose media-libs/netpbm</code>
</resolution>
