Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Stack-based Buffer Overflow via the load_image function in the plug-ins/common/file-iff.c file. An attacker can execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted malicious LBM file.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by avoiding the opening of untrusted LBM files and, if not essential, removing the application using the system's package manager.
