Description: Chris Evans has reported multiple vulnerabilities in libXpm, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
1) A boundary error within the "xpmParseColors()" function can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted XPM file is processed.
Successful exploitation may potentially allow execution of arbitrary code.
2) Various input validation errors can be exploited to cause integer overflows when a specially crafted XPM file is processed.
Successful exploitation causes an affected application to crash and may potentially also allow arbitrary code execution.
