An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the XPM imagerendering functionality of SDL2_image 2.0.4.

Thisbuffer can then be written out of bounds resulting in a heap overflow,ultimately ending in code execution. An attacker can display a speciallycrafted image to trigger this vulnerability.
