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.
