    Package        : libxpm
    Version        : 1:3.5.12-1+deb10u1
    CVE ID         : CVE-2022-4883 CVE-2022-44617 CVE-2022-46285

    libxpm is a library handling X PixMap image format (so called xpm files).
    xpm files are an extension of the monochrome X BitMap format specified
    in the X protocol, and is commonly used in traditional X applications.

    CVE-2022-4883

        When processing files with
        .Z or .gz extensions, the library calls external programs
        to compress and uncompress files, relying on the
        PATH environment variable to find these programs,
        which could allow a malicious user to execute other programs
        by manipulating the PATH environment variable.

    CVE-2022-44617

        When processing a file with width of 0
        and a very large height, some parser functions will be
        called repeatedly and can lead to an infinite loop,
        resulting in a Denial of Service in the application linked
        to the library.

    CVE-2022-46285

        When parsing a file with a comment
        not closed, an end-of-file condition will not be detected,
        leading to an infinite loop and resulting in a
        Denial of Service in the application linked to the library.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version
    1:3.5.12-1+deb10u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libxpm packages.

    its security tracker page at:
