Description Jan Lieskovsky 2009-11-13 11:07:32 UTC
Stefan Cornelius of Secunia Research reported an integer overflow,
leading to heap-based buffer overflow, present in Gimp's Adobe's
Photoshop (PSD) image file plugin. A remote attacker could
provide a specially-crafted PSD image file, which once opened
by a local, unsuspecting user would lead to denial of service
(GIMP PSD plugin crash). 

Upstream patch:
---------------
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gimp/commit/?h=gimp-2-6&id=88eccea84aa375197cc04a2a0e2e29debb56bfa5

The another PSD related commit might be needed too though:

Acknowledgements:

Red Hat would like to thank Stefan Cornelius of Secunia Research for reporting this flaw.

The Gimp package update is scheduled for Fedora 10 release too, but is
currently blocked by the following bug 518003.

  Once this blocker is solved, The Gimp in Fedora 10 will be updated.
