Date:	07/25/2007
Bugs:	#182047
ID:	200707-09

Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GIMP, allowing for the remote execution of arbitrary code.

Background

GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)
media-gfx/gimp	< 2.2.16	>= 2.2.16	All supported architectures

Description

Sean Larsson from iDefense Labs discovered multiple integer overflows in various GIMP plugins (CVE-2006-4519). Stefan Cornelius from Secunia Research discovered an integer overflow in the seek_to_and_unpack_pixeldata() function when processing PSD files (CVE-2007-2949).

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted image file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running GIMP.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All GIMP users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/gimp-2.2.16"
