high Nessus Plugin ID 94552

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2016:2589 advisory.

The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is an image composition and editing program. GIMP provides a large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations and layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and anti-aliasing, and conversions, all with multi-level undo.

The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version: gimp (2.8.16), gimp-help (2.8.2).
(BZ#1298226, BZ#1370595)

Security Fix(es):

* Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities were found in GIMP in the channel and layer properties parsing process when loading XCF files. An attacker could create a specially crafted XCF file which could cause GIMP to crash. (CVE-2016-4994)

Additional Changes:

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 Release Notes linked from the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
