GIMP seek_to_and_unpack_pixeldata code execution
| gimp-unpackpixeldata-code-execution (35246) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
GIMP could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an integer overflow in the seek_to_and_unpack_pixeldata function. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted PSD file with an overly large width or height value, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
