Debian Linux Security Advisory 2026-1 - Marc Schoenefeld discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in the XPM reader implementation in netpbm-free, a suite of image manipulation utilities. An attacker could cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via an XPM image file that contains a crafted header field associated with a large color index value.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : netpbm-free
Vulnerability : stack-based buffer overflow
Problem type : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id : CVE-2009-4274
Debian Bug : 569060
Marc Schoenefeld discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in the XPM reader
implementation in netpbm-free, a suite of image manipulation utilities.
An attacker could cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly
execute arbitrary code via an XPM image file that contains a crafted header
field associated with a large color index value.
For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 2:10.0-12+lenny1.
For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 2:10.0-12.1+squeeze1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.
Due to a problem with the archive system it is not possible to release
all architectures. The missing architectures will be installed into the
archive once they become available.
We recommend that you upgrade your netpbm-free package.
Upgrade instructions
- --------------------
