In GIMP 2.8.22, there is a heap-based buffer overflow in the fli_read_brun function in plug-ins/file-fli/fli.c.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - gimp: Heap-based buffer overflow in read_channel_data function in plug-ins/common/file-psp.c     (CVE-2017-17789)

  - gimp: predictable temporary file name in test-xcf.c unit test (CVE-2018-12713)

  - In GIMP 2.8.22, there is a heap-based buffer over-read in load_image in plug-ins/common/file-gbr.c in the     gbr import parser, related to mishandling of UTF-8 data. (CVE-2017-17784)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program, which could result in denial of service (application crash) or potentially the execution of arbitrary code if malformed files are opened.

Hanno B&ouml;ck found several buffer overflows in GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program, which could lead to application crash or other unspecified behaviour if a user opened untrusted input files.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.8.2-2+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your gimp packages.
