GDK-Pixbuf/GTK XPM Images Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

The gdk-pixbuf and gtk2 packages are prone to a buffer overflow. When an application that uses a vulnerable library processes a malformed XPM image file, it results in a heap-based buffer overflow. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the victim user.
