Discussion

GIMP CVE-2012-3402 Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

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

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