NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream netpbm-free package and not the netpbm-free package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

Stack-based buffer overflow in converter/ppm/xpmtoppm.c in netpbm before 10.47.07 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via an XPM image file that contains a crafted header field associated with a large color index value.
