<description>
<p>
Stefan Cornelius (Secunia Research) reported two boundary errors in
Imlib2:
</p>
<ul>
<li>One of them within the load() function in the
file src/modules/loaders/loader_pnm.c when processing the header of a
PNM image file, possibly leading to a stack-based buffer overflow.</li>
<li>The second one within the load() function in the file
src/modules/loader_xpm.c when processing an XPM image file, possibly
leading to a stack-based buffer overflow.</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PNM
or XPM image, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code
with the rights of the user running the application using Imlib 2.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Imlib 2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/imlib2-1.4.0-r1"</code>
</resolution>
