Fedora has released updated packages to correct a vulnerability identified in Netpbm. This flaw is due to a design error where pstopnm calls the GhostScript interpreter on untrusted PostScript files without specifying the -dSAFER option, which could be exploited to execute arbitrary code by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PostScript file.
