| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
GIMP versions 2.10.30 through 2.10.30
GIMP version 2.99.10
Description
The issue is related to a buffer overflow vulnerability. It can be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially crafted XCF file, which causes the program to allocate a huge amount of memory. This results in insufficient memory or a program crash. The vulnerability is associated with the lack of input validation when copying a buffer.
Recommendations
For GIMP version 2.10.30, consider disabling the handling of XCF files until a patch is available.
For GIMP version 2.99.10, restrict access to the XCF file processing module to minimize the risk of exploitation.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
