Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libxpm package and not the libxpm package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

A vulnerability was found in libXpm due to a boundary condition within the XpmCreateXpmImageFromBuffer() function. This flaw allows a local attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read the contents of memory on the system.
