NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libnetpbm11 package and not the libnetpbm11 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in netpbm before 10.61. The expandCodeOntoStack() function has an insufficient code value check, so that a maliciously crafted file could cause the application to crash or possibly allows code execution.
