Description:
Multiple boundary errors have been identified in NetPBM, which theoretically could be exploited to compromise a user's system.
Some of the vulnerabilities exist when handling long file names (longer than 2 GB) and the size of images. Successful exploitation could potentially allow malicious people to conduct a DoS attack (Denial of Service) on a user's system or execute arbitrary code. This has not been proved, though.
NetPBM is not installed suid but is used by some applications for print formatting and image conversion.
