GIMP CVE-2017-17788 Stack-Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
GIMP is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.
Successfully exploiting this issue may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
GIMP 2.8.22 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
