"Tobias Stoeckmann discovered that the libXpm library contained two
integer overflow flaws, leading to a heap out-of-bounds write, while
parsing XPM extensions in a file. An attacker can provide a specially
crafted XPM file that, when processed by an application using the
libXpm library, would cause a denial-of-service against the
application, or potentially, the execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running the application.");
