DESCRIPTION:
Gentoo has issued an update for camlimages. This fixes some
vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause
a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise an application
using the library.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to integer overflows within the
"read_png_file()" and "read_png_file_as_rgb24()" functions, and in
gifread.c, jpegread.c, and tiffread.c. These can be exploited to
cause heap-based buffer overflows when processing specially crafted
PNG, GIF, JPEG, or TIFF images.

SOLUTION:
Update to dev-ml/camlimages-3.0.2.
