CVE-2016-5684 FreeImage vulnerability
Title: FreeImage vulnerability
Summary: FreeImage could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it
opened a specially crafted file.
It was discovered that an out-of-bounds write vulnerability existed in the XMP
image handling functionality of the FreeImage library. If a user or automated
system were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, a remote attacker
could overwrite arbitrary memory, resulting in code execution.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
