+ <background>
+ <p>Netpbm is a toolkit for manipulation of graphic images, including
+ conversion of images between a variety of different formats.

+ <p>A stack-based buffer overflow exists in converter/ppm/xpmtoppm.c in
+ Netpbm.
+ </p>

+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted XMP
+ file using Netpbm, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code
+ with the privileges of the process, or a Denial of Service condition.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All Netpbm users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/netpbm-10.49.00"
+ </code>
+
+ <p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
+ such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these packages.
