(XnView: Stack-based buffer overflow)

    XnView is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow while processing
    an XPM file with an overly long section string (greater than 1024
    bytes).
  
Impact :

    An attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted XPM file
    with XnView that could trigger the vulnerability and possibly execute
    arbitrary code with the rights of the user running XnView.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
