Integer overflow in the readpgm function in pnm.c for GOCR 0.40, when using the netpbm library, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PNM file with large width and height values, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.

Security readout for executives and security teams

GOCR 0.40 can mishandle specially crafted PNM image dimensions when built with the netpbm library. If an exposed OCR workflow processes an attacker-supplied PNM file, memory corruption could allow code execution. The provided sources do not name active exploitation or a fixed version. Exposure is most likely in legacy systems running GOCR 0.40 that accept untrusted image uploads, email attachments, batch OCR jobs, or automated document-processing feeds. Modern environments without GOCR 0.40 or without PNM ingestion are unlikely to be affected. Treat this as urgent only where legacy GOCR 0.40 processes external files. For other environments, prioritize inventory confirmation and retirement of obsolete OCR components. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for GOCR 0.40 and netpbm-linked builds.; Avoid processing untrusted PNM files with affected GOCR deployments.; Check vendor or distribution guidance for fixed packages or backports..
