If it's used from e.g. some php it might be considered remote which would 
raise severity to 7.

The result of this bug is that pnmtopng can access an array with uninitialized 
index, but I don't see any way to exploit it. Could you please ask for more 
details?

Also, our 10.0 package does not crash on the attached file.

Briefly looking at the 9.3 and 9.0 code doesn't reveal any exploitablility to me
neither.

The 9.3 code seems not to crash by using the example mentioned in the initila
comment.
Comment 6 Vladimir Nadvornik 2005-10-13 09:47:10 UTC
