Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
GIMP is vulnerable to multiple buffer overflows which could result in |
19 |
the execution of arbitrary code or Denial of Service. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
GIMP is a cross-platform image editor available for GNU/Linux, OS X, |
25 |
Windows and more operating systems. |
26 |

Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
GIMP's network server, scriptfu, is vulnerable to the remote execution |
39 |
of arbitrary code via the python-fu-eval command due to not requiring |
40 |
authentication. Additionally, the X Window Dump (XWD) plugin is |
41 |
vulnerable to multiple buffer overflows possibly allowing the remote |
42 |
execution of arbitrary code or Denial of Service. The XWD plugin is |
43 |
vulnerable due to not validating large color entries. |
44 |
|
45 |
Impact |
46 |
====== |
47 |
|
48 |
A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the |
49 |
privileges of the process due or perform a Denial of Service. |
50 |
|
51 |
Workaround |
52 |
========== |
53 |
|
54 |
There is no known work around at this time. |
55 |
|
56 |
Resolution |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
All GIMP users should upgrade to the latest version: |
60 |
# emerge --sync |
61 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/gimp-2.8.0" |
62 |
