Description
The issue involves multiple vulnerabilities in the netpbm package, which can lead to disruption of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. These vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely. A specific vulnerability is a stack-based buffer overflow in converter/ppm/xpmtoppm.c, allowing context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via an XPM image file with a crafted header field associated with a large color index value.

As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the netpbm package until a patch is available.
