Discussion

Gimp XCF_load_vector Function Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Gimp is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input data before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

An attacker may cause malicious code to execute by forcing the application to read raw data from a malicious image file, with the privileges of the user running the GIMP application.
