Stefan Cornelius of Secunia Research reported an integer overflow, leading to heap-based buffer overflow, present in Gimp's Microsoft Windows Bitmap (BMP) image file plugin. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted BMP image file, which once opened by a local, unsuspecting user would lead to denial of service (Gimp BMP plugin crash).
