Discussion

GIMP PSD File Integer Overflow Vulnerability

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

Successful exploits of this vulnerability allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the affected application.

GIMP 2.2.15 is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.
