Detail

Henning Makholm discovered a buffer overflow in the XCF loading code of Gimp, an image editing program. Opening a specially crafted XCF image might cause the application to execute arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.6-1sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.11-3.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your gimp package.

Id Description
27037 GIMP XCF Parsing xcf_load_vector() Function Overflow

A remote overflow exists in Gimp. The xcf_load_vector() function fails to handle XCF files with a large 'num_axes' value resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted XCF file, an attacker can execute remote arbitrary code or cause denial of service resulting in a loss of integrity or availability.
