DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in FreeImage, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and
potentially compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
processing of ILBM (InterLeaved BitMap) images. This can be exploited
to cause a buffer overflow by tricking a user into viewing a specially
crafted image in an application linked against the vulnerable
library.

Successful exploitation crashes an affected application and may
potentially allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 3.5.0. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.5.1 or later.
