Several vulnerabilities have been identified in GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program.
- CVE-2010-4540
Stack-based buffer overflow in the load_preset_response function in plug-ins/lighting/lighting-ui.c in the
LIGHTING EFFECTS & LIGHT
plugin allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a longPosition
field in a plugin configuration file. - CVE-2010-4541
Stack-based buffer overflow in the loadit function in plug-ins/common/sphere-designer.c in the
SPHERE DESIGNER
plugin allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a longNumber of lights
field in a plugin configuration file. - CVE-2010-4542
Stack-based buffer overflow in the gfig_read_parameter_gimp_rgb function in the GFIG plugin allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long
Foreground
field in a plugin configuration file. - CVE-2010-4543
Heap-based buffer overflow in the read_channel_data function in file-psp.c in the Paint Shop Pro (PSP) plugin allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a PSP_COMP_RLE (aka RLE compression) image file that begins a long run count at the end of the image.
- CVE-2011-1782
The correction for CVE-2010-4543 was incomplete.
- CVE-2011-2896
The LZW decompressor in the LZWReadByte function in plug-ins/common/file-gif-load.c does not properly handle code words that are absent from the decompression table when encountered, which allows remote attackers to trigger an infinite loop or a heap-based buffer overflow, and possibly execute arbitrary code, via a crafted compressed stream.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.10-1+squeeze3.
For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.11-5.
We recommend that you upgrade your gimp packages.
