  <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 &quot;&gt;=media-libs/imlib2-1.4.0-r1&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
