The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is an image composition and<br>editing program.<br>A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the GIMP's Paint Shop Pro<br>(PSP) image file plug-in. An attacker could create a specially-crafted PSP<br>image file that, when opened, could cause the PSP plug-in to crash or,<br>potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running<br>the GIMP. (CVE-2010-4543)<br>A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the GIMP's Lightning,<br>Sphere Designer, and Gfig image filters. An attacker could create a<br>specially-crafted Lightning, Sphere Designer, or Gfig filter configuration<br>file that, when opened, could cause the relevant plug-in to crash or,<br>potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running<br>the GIMP. (CVE-2010-4540, CVE-2010-4541, CVE-2010-4542)<br>Users of the GIMP are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which<br>contain backported patches to correct these issues. The GIMP must be<br>restarted for the update to take effect.<br>
