Discussion

GIMP Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

GIMP is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.

Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
