Detail

Problem Description:

Updated gimp packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64

3. Problem description:

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

Marsu discovered a stack overflow bug in The GIMP RAS file loader. An attacker could create a carefully crafted file that could cause The GIMP to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code if the file was opened by a victim. (CVE-2007-2356)

For users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, the previous GIMP packages had a bug that concerned the execution order in which the symbolic links to externally packaged GIMP plugins are installed and removed, causing the symbolic links to vanish when the package is updated.

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

4. Solution:

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

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188

Although the execution order problem in GIMP packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is fixed in these erratum packages, due to the nature of the problem it will show up once more when updating from an affected version to a fixed version. To add these symbolic links back in, run the following command after installation of the new packages:

/usr/sbin/gimp-plugin-mgr --install \*

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

238420 - CVE-2007-2356 Stack overflow in gimp's sunras plugin 238993 - gimp removes symlinks to plugins of other packages when updated
