Bug#304465: kdelibs4: Invalid calculation of PCX image properties possibly permits arbitrary code execution



Package: kdelibs4
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

Invalid range checking in PCX header parsing possibly permits execution
of arbitrary code. Please see http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102328
for a full description, a crafted test image and a patch from Waldo Bastian
(so there's probably a pending KDE security advisory).

Cheers,
        Moritz
