Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in GNU gimp 2.6.11 (Image Processing Software) and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is the function gfig_read_parameter_gimp_rgb of the file plug-ins/gfig/gfig-style.c of the component Configuration File. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to 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. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Stack-based buffer overflow in the gfig_read_parameter_gimp_rgb function in plug-ins/gfig/gfig-style.c in the GFIG plugin in GIMP 2.6.11 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long Foreground field in a plugin configuration file. NOTE: it may be uncommon to obtain a GIMP plugin configuration file from an untrusted source that is separate from the distribution of the plugin itself. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

The weakness was released 01/03/2011 as Bug 666793 as not defined bug report (Bugzilla). The advisory is shared for download at bugzilla.redhat.com.
