Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions pnmtopng versions prior to 2.39

Description The issue is related to an off-by-one buffer overflow when using the -alpha command line option, which can be triggered by a crafted PNM file with exactly 256 colors. This can cause a denial of service, resulting in a crash, and potentially allow the execution of arbitrary code.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.39, update to version 2.39 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of the -alpha command line option with the Alphas Of Color setting until the update is applied.
