Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in GIMP 1.18beta2 (Image Processing Software). This vulnerability affects the function ReadSetOfCurves. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the ReadSetOfCurves function in LittleCMS (aka lcms or liblcms) before 1.18beta2, as used in Firefox 3.1beta, OpenJDK, and GIMP, allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted image file associated with a large integer value for the (1) input or (2) output channel, related to the ReadLUT_A2B and ReadLUT_B2A functions.

The bug was discovered 03/19/2009. The weakness was disclosed 03/23/2009 by Chris Evans with Google Security Team (Website). The advisory is available at redhat.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2009-0733 since 02/25/2009. The attack can be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 4 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 43736 (CentOS 5 : java-1.6.0-openjdk (CESA-2009:0377)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.
