Heap-based buffer overflow in the bm_readbody_bmp function in bitmap_io.c
in potrace before 1.13 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact
via a crafted BMP image, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-8698,
CVE-2016-8699, CVE-2016-8701, CVE-2016-8702, and CVE-2016-8703.

Notes

Author	Note
