| <impact type="normal"> |
| <p> |
| An attacker might be able to embed malicious code into an image, which |
| would lead to the execution of arbitrary code under the privileges of the |
| user viewing the image. |
| </p> |
| </impact> |
| <workaround> |
| <p> |
| There is no known workaround at this time. |
| </p> |
