Ubuntu 5.04 / 5.10 / 6.06 LTS : gimp vulnerability (USN-312-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 27887

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Henning Makholm discovered that gimp did not sufficiently validate the 'num_axes' parameter in XCF files. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted XCF file with Gimp, an attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.

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.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
