Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 15.10 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

GIMP could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description: - gimp: The GNU Image Manipulation Program

Details:

It was discovered that GIMP incorrectly handled malformed XCF files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted XCF file, an attacker could cause GIMP to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.
