Optical Character Recognition Utility CVE-2005-1142 Remote Security Vulnerability

Optical Character Recognition Utility is prone to a remote security vulnerability. Heap-based buffer overflow in the readpgm function in pnm.c for GOCR 0.40, when it is not using netpbm, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a P3 format PNM file with more data than implied by its width and height values.
