  <description>
    <p>
    Julien Danjou reported a pointer arithmetic error and a heap-based
    buffer overflow within the load() function of the XPM image loader.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted
    XPM image, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code
    with the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of
    Service.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Imlib2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/imlib2-1.4.2-r1"</code>
