Package        : gtksee 
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow 
Problem-Type   : local 
Debian-specific: no 
CVE Ids        : CAN-2003-0444 
 
Viliam Holub discovered a bug in gtksee whereby, when loading PNG 
images of certain color depths, gtksee would overflow a heap-allocated 
buffer.  This vulnerability could be exploited by an attacker using a 
carefully constructed PNG image to execute arbitrary code when the 
victim loads the file in gtksee.
