gimp xcf buffer overflow Henning Makholm discovered a buffer overflow bug in gimp's XCF loader. It is possible to overflow a static buffer with arbitrary data, which could likely result in arbitrary code execution. The upstream bug contains the patch: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346742 This issue also affects RHEL3 This issue also affects RHEL2.1
I'm not sure if this issue affects RHEL2.1 or not. I can't find the source in question, but I'm also not terribly familiar with the source of the XCF format.
gimp-1.2.x (what is in RHEL2.1 and RHEL3) doesn't seem to store or load vector information in XCF files. I've contacted Henning Makholm (who provided the patch upstream) about a testcase file.
gimp-1.2.x (what is in RHEL2.1 and RHEL3) doesn't seem to store or load vector information in XCF files, so shouldn't be vulnerable. I've contacted Henning Makholm (who provided the patch upstream) about a testcase file.
I've built gimp-2.0.5-6 for RHEL4 which includes the fix mentioned above.
