Synopsis
========

GIMP is vulnerable to multiple buffer overflows which could result in
the execution of arbitrary code or Denial of Service.

Background
==========

GIMP is a cross-platform image editor available for GNU/Linux, OS X,
Windows and more operating systems.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-gfx/gimp < 2.8.0 >= 2.8.0

Description
===========

GIMP's network server, scriptfu, is vulnerable to the remote execution
of arbitrary code via the python-fu-eval command due to not requiring
authentication. Additionally, the X Window Dump (XWD) plugin is
vulnerable to multiple buffer overflows possibly allowing the remote
execution of arbitrary code or Denial of Service. The XWD plugin is
vulnerable due to not validating large color entries.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process due or perform a Denial of Service.

Workaround
==========

There is no known work around at this time.

Resolution
==========

All GIMP users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/gimp-2.8.0"
