DESCRIPTION
netpbm[1] are tools for manipulating graphic files in many formats.

Utilities provided by the netpbm package prior to the 9.25 version
contain defects[2] in temporary file handling. They create temporary
files with predictable names without checking if the target file
already exists.

SOLUTION
It is recommended that all netpbm users upgrade their packages.
