Oracle Linux: CVE-2023-44441: ELSA-2024-0675: gimp security update (IMPORTANT) (Multiple Advisories)

GIMP DDS File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of DDS files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
. Was ZDI-CAN-22093.
A parsing vulnerability was found in the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP). This flaw allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to trick a GIMP user into opening a malicious DDS file, possibly enabling the execution of unauthorized code within the GIMP process.
