CVE-2012-3403
CVSS v2.0
9.3
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
GIMP versions 2.6.9 and earlier
GIMP versions 2.8.x and earlier
Description
The issue is related to multiple vulnerabilities in the GIMP package, which can lead to a disruption of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. These vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely. A heap-based buffer overflow in the KiSS CEL file format plug-in allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted KiSS palette file.
Recommendations
For GIMP versions 2.6.9 and earlier, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk.
For GIMP versions 2.8.x and earlier, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the KiSS CEL file format plug-in until a patch is available.
