Red Hat Security Advisory 2011-0838-01 - The GIMP is an image composition and editing program. An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the GIMP's Microsoft Windows Bitmap and Personal Computer eXchange image file plug-ins. An attacker could create a specially-crafted BMP or PCX image file that, when opened, could cause the relevant plug-in to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the GIMP. A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the GIMP's Paint Shop Pro image file plug-in. An attacker could create a specially-crafted PSP image file that, when opened, could cause the PSP plug-in to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the GIMP. Various other issues were also addressed.
