DSA-6470-1 gimp - security update
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program, which could result in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code if malformed PSP, TIFF, DDS, PSD, SGI, FLI, FITS or ICNS files are opened. https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/DSA-6470-1
CSIRTS triage
- What
- Vulnerabilities in handling PSP, TIFF, DDS, PSD, SGI, FLI, FITS, and ICNS file formats enable denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
- Who is affected
- GIMP users opening malformed files of supported formats.
- Urgency
- Medium-High; arbitrary code execution is possible when opening crafted files, though user interaction (file opening) is required.
- Action
- Apply Debian security update DSA-6470-1 or upgrade GIMP to patched version.
