Imlib2 1.4.1 has been released to address security vulnerabilities in
the PNM and XPM image loaders which can be exploited to cause
applications linked against Imlib2 to execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running the application (or root, if the
application is setuid/setgid).

All users are encouraged to upgrade to this latest release
immediately.
