3. Description:

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

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw, a heap-based buffer overflow, and an integer overflow flaw were found in the way GIMP loaded certain X Window System (XWD) image dump files. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted XWD image file that, when processed, would cause the XWD plug-in to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the GIMP. (CVE-2012-5576, CVE-2013-1913, CVE-2013-1978)

The CVE-2013-1913 and CVE-2013-1978 issues were discovered by Murray McAllister of the Red Hat Security Response Team.

Users of the GIMP are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which 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/site/articles/11258

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

879302 - CVE-2012-5576 gimp (XWD plug-in): Stack-based buffer overflow when loading XWD file 947868 - CVE-2013-1913 gimp: xwd plugin g_new() integer overflow 953902 - CVE-2013-1978 gimp: XWD plugin color map heap-based buffer overflow
