DOCUMENTATION: A flaw was found in GIMP. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing a user to open a specially crafted PSP (PaintShop Pro) file. This flaw is caused by a heap-based buffer overflow, where the application does not properly validate the length of user-supplied data. Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current process.
STATEMENT: This is an Important vulnerability in GIMP that could lead to arbitrary code execution. The flaw requires user interaction, as an attacker must entice a user to open a specially crafted PSP (PaintShop Pro) file. Red Hat products are affected if GIMP is installed and used to open untrusted PSP files.
MITIGATION: To mitigate this vulnerability, users should avoid opening untrusted PSP (PaintShop Pro) files with GIMP. Restricting the sources of PSP files to only trusted origins can reduce the risk of exploitation.
