Detail

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.04 Ubuntu 5.10 Ubuntu 6.06 LTS

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 5.04:
gimp 2.2.2-1ubuntu5.1
libgimp2.0 2.2.2-1ubuntu5.1

Ubuntu 5.10:
gimp 2.2.8-2ubuntu6.1
libgimp2.0 2.2.8-2ubuntu6.1

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
gimp 2.2.11-1ubuntu3.1
libgimp2.0 2.2.11-1ubuntu3.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Henning Makholm discovered that gimp did not sufficiently validate the 'num_axes' parameter in XCF files. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted XCF file with Gimp, an attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.

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.
