Detail

Problem Description:

Updated gimp packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

3. Description:

The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is an image composition and editing program.

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the GIMP's Microsoft Windows Bitmap (BMP) and Personal Computer eXchange (PCX) image file plug-ins. An attacker could create a specially-crafted BMP or PCX image file that, when opened, could cause the relevant plug-in to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the GIMP. (CVE-2009-1570, CVE-2011-1178)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the GIMP's Paint Shop Pro (PSP) image file plug-in. An attacker could create a specially-crafted PSP image file that, when opened, could cause the PSP plug-in to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the GIMP. (CVE-2010-4543)

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the GIMP's Lightning, Sphere Designer, and Gfig image filters. An attacker could create a specially-crafted Lightning, Sphere Designer, or Gfig filter configuration file that, when opened, could cause the relevant plug-in to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the GIMP. (CVE-2010-4540, CVE-2010-4541, CVE-2010-4542)

Red Hat would like to thank Stefan Cornelius of Secunia Research for responsibly reporting the CVE-2009-1570 flaw.

Users of the GIMP are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. The GIMP must be restarted for the update to take effect.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259

Title: USN-1109-1 -- gimp vulnerabilities
Description: It was discovered that GIMP incorrectly handled malformed data in certain plugin configuration files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted plugin configuration file, an attacker could cause GIMP to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the user�s privileges. The default compiler options for affected releases should reduce the vulnerability to a denial of service. It was discovered that GIMP incorrectly handled malformed PSP image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted PSP image file, an attacker could cause GIMP to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the user�s privileges

70284 GIMP plug-ins/common/file-psp.c read_channel_data() Function Overflow

GIMP is prone to an overflow condition. The 'read_channel_data()' function in 'plug-ins/common/file-psp.c' fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input resulting in a heap-based buffer overflow. With a specially crafted PSP file, a context-dependent attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code.
70283 GIMP plug-ins/gfig/gfig-style.c gfig_read_parameter_gimp_rgb() Function Overflow

GIMP is prone to an overflow condition. The 'gfig_read_parameter_gimp_rgb()' function in 'plug-ins/gfig/gfig-style.c' fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. With a specially crafted GFIG or XCF file, a context-dependent attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code.
70282 GIMP plug-ins/lighting/lighting-ui.c load_preset_response() Function Overflow

GIMP is prone to an overflow condition. The 'load_preset_response()' function in 'plug-ins/lighting/lighting-ui.c' in the 'Lighting Effects' plugin fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. With a specially crafted file for the plugin, a context-dependent attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code.
70281 GIMP plug-ins/common/sphere-designer.c loadit() Function Overflow

GIMP is prone to an overflow condition. The 'loadit()' function in 'plug-ins/common/sphere-designer.c' of the 'Sphere Designer' plugin fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. With a specially crafted file for the plugin, a context-dependent attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code.
