3. Problem description:

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

Henning Makholm discovered a buffer overflow bug in The GIMP XCF file loader. An attacker could create a carefully crafted image that could execute arbitrary code if opened by a victim. (CVE-2006-3404)

Please note that this issue did not affect the gimp packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, or 3.

Users of The GIMP should update to these erratum packages which contain a backported fix to correct this issue.

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.
