Description |

=========== |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Multiple buffer overflow and integer handling vulnerabilities have been |
| 41 |
discovered in xv's image processing code. These vulnerabilities have |

| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Impact |
| 45 |
====== |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
An attacker might be able to embed malicious code into an image, which |
| 48 |
would lead to the execution of arbitrary code under the privileges of |
| 49 |
the user viewing the image. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Workaround |
| 52 |
========== |
| 53 |

Resolution |
| 57 |
========== |
