Stack-based buffer overflow in the gfig_read_parameter_gimp_rgb function in plug-ins/gfig/gfig-style.c in the GFIG plugin in GIMP 2.6.11 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long Foreground field in a plugin configuration file. NOTE: it may be uncommon to obtain a GIMP plugin configuration file from an untrusted source that is separate from the distribution of the plugin itself. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Four buffer overflows have been fixed in gimp and its plugins.
CVE-2010-4540-CVE-2010-4543 have been assigned to these issues.

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2011:0839 :

Updated gimp packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is an image composition and editing program.

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the GIMP's Paint Shop Pro (PSP) 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. (CVE-2010-4543)

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the GIMP's Lightning, Sphere Designer, and Gfig image filters. An attacker could create a specially crafted Lightning, Sphere Designer, or Gfig filter configuration 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. (CVE-2010-4540, CVE-2010-4541, CVE-2010-4542)

Users of the GIMP are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. The GIMP must be restarted for the update to take effect.

The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2011-0838 advisory.

Several vulnerabilities have been identified in GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program.

  - CVE-2010-4540     Stack-based buffer overflow in the load_preset_response     function in plug-ins/lighting/lighting-ui.c in the     'LIGHTING EFFECTS & LIGHT' plugin allows user-assisted     remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code     via a long 'Position' field in a plugin configuration     file.

  - CVE-2010-4541     Stack-based buffer overflow in the loadit function in     plug-ins/common/sphere-designer.c in the 'SPHERE     DESIGNER' plugin allows user-assisted remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (application crash) or     possibly execute arbitrary code via a long 'Number of     lights' field in a plugin configuration file.

  - CVE-2010-4542     Stack-based buffer overflow in the     gfig_read_parameter_gimp_rgb function in the GFIG plugin     allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (application crash) or possibly execute     arbitrary code via a long 'Foreground' field in a plugin     configuration file.

  - CVE-2010-4543     Heap-based buffer overflow in the read_channel_data     function in file-psp.c in the Paint Shop Pro (PSP)     plugin allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (application crash) or possibly execute     arbitrary code via a PSP_COMP_RLE (aka RLE compression)     image file that begins a long run count at the end of     the image.

  - CVE-2011-1782     The correction for CVE-2010-4543 was incomplete.

  - CVE-2011-2896     The LZW decompressor in the LZWReadByte function in     plug-ins/common/file-gif-load.c does not properly handle     code words that are absent from the decompression table     when encountered, which allows remote attackers to     trigger an infinite loop or a heap-based buffer     overflow, and possibly execute arbitrary code, via a     crafted compressed stream.

This update fixes buffer overflows in the PSP (CVE-2010-4543, CVE-2011-1782), sphere-designer (CVE-2010-4541), gfig (CVE-2010-4542) and lighting (CVE-2010-4540) plugins.

Multiple vulnerabilities was discovered and fixed in gimp :

Stack-based buffer overflow in the 'LIGHTING EFFECTS > LIGHT' plugin in GIMP 2.6.11 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long Position field in a plugin configuration file. NOTE: it may be uncommon to obtain a GIMP plugin configuration file from an untrusted source that is separate from the distribution of the plugin itself (CVE-2010-4540).

Stack-based buffer overflow in the SPHERE DESIGNER plugin in GIMP 2.6.11 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long Number of lights field in a plugin configuration file. NOTE: it may be uncommon to obtain a GIMP plugin configuration file from an untrusted source that is separate from the distribution of the plugin itself (CVE-2010-4541).

Stack-based buffer overflow in the GFIG plugin in GIMP 2.6.11 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long Foreground field in a plugin configuration file. NOTE: it may be uncommon to obtain a GIMP plugin configuration file from an untrusted source that is separate from the distribution of the plugin itself (CVE-2010-4542).

Heap-based buffer overflow in the read_channel_data function in file-psp.c in the Paint Shop Pro (PSP) plugin in GIMP 2.6.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a PSP_COMP_RLE (aka RLE compression) image file that begins a long run count at the end of the image (CVE-2010-4543, CVE-2011-1782).

Packages for 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program. Please visit this link to learn more:
http://store.mandriva.com/product_info.php?cPath=149 products_id=490

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

It was discovered that GIMP incorrectly handled malformed data in certain plugin configuration files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted plugin configuration file, an attacker could cause GIMP to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. The default compiler options for affected releases should reduce the vulnerability to a denial of service.
(CVE-2010-4540, CVE-2010-4541, CVE-2010-4542)

It was discovered that GIMP incorrectly handled malformed PSP image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted PSP image file, an attacker could cause GIMP to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. (CVE-2010-4543).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Several gimp plugins were prone to buffer overflows. (CVE-2010-4540 / CVE-2010-4541 / CVE-2010-4542 / CVE-2010-4543)
