Debian DLA-1220-1 : gimp security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 105427

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Hanno Böck 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.

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
