Description:
A vulnerability was reported in GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP). A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
A remote user can create an XCF file with a specially crafted num_axes value that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system or cause the target application to crash. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
The flaw resides in the xcf_load_vector() function in 'app/xcf/xcf-load.c'.
Henning Makholm reported this vulnerability.
