library, this could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the
rights of the user running the application.
(CVE-2005-2976, CVE-2005-3186)

Additionally, specially crafted XPM images could cause an endless loop
in the image loader, which could be exploited to cause applications
trying to open that image to hang. (CVE-2005-2975)
