Description stupendoussteve 2008-11-10 00:43:13 UTC 
Buffer overflow in the readImageData function in giftopnm.c in netpbm before 10.27 allows remote user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted GIF image, a similar issue to CVE-2006-4484.

10.26.58 is currently in portage and marked stable.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2008-11-10 04:21:00 UTC 
doing a strict version compare with netpbm is useless.  10.26.58 was release long after the CVE in question, so it probably is fixed in it.

Steven, could you please verify that?
Comment 3 Stefan Behte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2008-11-10 10:48:02 UTC 
Whoops, he's not on the security team. We'll verify it then, anyone please ignore #2 (please *g).

According to upstream, this bug was fixed in 10.26.2 as well as 10.27
