libXpm.so is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution. A remote attacker is able to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or execute arbitrary code by parsing malicious XPM files via (1) the number of extensions or (2) their concatenated length in a crafted XPM file triggering a heap-based buffer overflow.
