USN-8982-1

It was discovered that feh incorrectly handled certain IPC messages from a client pretending to be the Enlightenment window manager, leading to an integer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause feh to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
