Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in GDK-PixBuf, the worst of
which could result in the execution of arbitrary code.

Background
==========

GDK-PixBuf is an image loading library for GTK+.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GDK-PixBuf. Please
review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.

Impact
======

A remote attacker, by sending a specially crafted TIFF, JPEG, or URL,
could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or
cause a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
==========
