potentially compromise an application using the library.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to unspecified errors within the

may be exploited to execute arbitrary code by e.g. tricking a user
into opening a specially crafted image file with an application using
imlib2.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted images with an application using the library.
