GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) image loader plugins code execution
| gimp-plugins-code-execution (35308) |  High Risk |
Description:
GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an integer overflow in the g_malloc or g_new function of the DICOM, PNM, PSD, PSP, Sun RAS, XBM, and XWD file format plugins. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted file with an overly large length value, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
