Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2017-04-24 11:39:01 UTC
From ${URL} :

In wallpaper.c in feh before v2.18.3, if a malicious client pretends to be the E17 window manager, it is possible to trigger an out-of-boundary heap write while receiving an IPC 
message. An integer overflow leads to a buffer overflow and/or a double free.

Upstream patch:
