*Description*:
A vulnerability has been discovered in imlib2, which can be exploited by
malicious people to potentially compromise an application using the library.
The vulnerability is caused due to a pointer arithmetic error within the
"load()" function provided by the XPM loader. This can be exploited to
cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted XPM file.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.4.2. Other versions may also
be affected.
