Description Jan Lieskovsky 2013-02-06 17:04:22 UTC 
A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way pbm2l2030, a filter to convert raw Portable Bitmap Format (PBM) image data to the printer language of Lexmark 2030 printers, performed creation of its internal intermediate heap-based buffer, when printing PBM image file. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted PBM image file that, when processed by the filter would lead to pbm2l2030 executable crash.

This issue was discovered by Murray McAllister of Red Hat Security Response Team.
