Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GIMP (affected versions not specified)

Description A flaw exists in the parsing of ICO files, potentially allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. User interaction is required, such as visiting a malicious page or opening a malicious file. The issue stems from insufficient validation of user-supplied data length before copying it into a heap-based buffer, which can lead to code execution within the current process.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
