(XEmacs: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)
Tielei Wang reported multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities in the
tiff_instantiate(), png_instantiate() and jpeg_instantiate() functions
in glyphs-eimage.c, all possibly leading to heap-based buffer
overflows.
Impact :
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted TIFF,
JPEG or PNG file using XEmacs, possibly resulting in the remote
execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
application, or a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time."

available since July 26, 2009. It is likely that your system is already
no longer affected by this issue."
