Summary
The FreeImage image library (the danoli3 fork, versions before 3.19.22) is affected. Opening a specially crafted IFF/LBM image file can corrupt memory on the heap, which may crash the application or allow an attacker to run code.

Read the original description
FreeImage (danoli3 fork) before 3.19.22 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the PBM RLE decoder of PluginIFF.cpp that lacks bounds checks on ByteRun1 runs. Attackers can supply a crafted IFF/LBM PBM file with runs straddling scanline ends to write up to 127 controlled bytes past the heap-allocated bitmap.
