<impact type="normal">
<p>A remote attacker, pretending to be the E17 window manager, could
possibly trigger an out-of-boundary heap write in feh while receiving an
IPC message. This could result in execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All feh users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/feh-2.18.3"
</code>
</resolution>
