Synopsis:	Moderate: gimp security update
Issue date:	2007-05-21
CVE Names:	CVE-2007-2356

Marsu discovered a stack overflow bug in The GIMP RAS file loader.  An
attacker could create a carefully crafted file that could cause The GIMP 
to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code if the file was opened by a
victim.  (CVE-2007-2356)

For users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, the previous GIMP packages had 
a bug that concerned the execution order in which the symbolic links to
externally packaged GIMP plugins are installed and removed, causing the
symbolic links to vanish when the package is updated.
