Synopsis: Moderate: gimp security update
Issue Date: 2011-05-31
CVE Numbers: CVE-2009-1570
 CVE-2010-4540
 CVE-2011-1178
 CVE-2010-4541
 CVE-2010-4542
 CVE-2010-4543

The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is an image composition and
editing program.

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was
found in the GIMP's Microsoft Windows Bitmap (BMP) and Personal Computer
eXchange (PCX) image file plug-ins. An attacker could create a
specially-crafted BMP or PCX image file that, when opened, could cause
the relevant plug-in to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code
with the privileges of the user running the GIMP. (CVE-2009-1570,
CVE-2011-1178)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the GIMP's Paint Shop Pro
(PSP) image file plug-in. An attacker could create a specially-crafted
PSP image file that, when opened, could cause the PSP plug-in to crash
or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running the GIMP. (CVE-2010-4543)

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the GIMP's Lightning,
Sphere Designer, and Gfig image filters. An attacker could create a
specially-crafted Lightning, Sphere Designer, or Gfig filter
configuration file that, when opened, could cause the relevant plug-in
to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
the user running the GIMP. (CVE-2010-4540, CVE-2010-4541, CVE-2010-4542)

Users of the GIMP are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain backported patches to correct these issues. The GIMP must
be restarted for the update to take effect.
