Ubuntu 6.06 LTS / 6.10 / 7.04 : gimp vulnerability (USN-480-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 28081

Synopsis

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

Description

Stefan Cornelius discovered that Gimp could miscalculate the size of heap buffers when processing PSD images. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted PSD 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.
