Short explanation

A flaw exists in GIMP due to an integer overflow when processing a specially crafted Bohemia Interactive PAA texture file. This vulnerability can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) or potential disclosure of sensitive memory contents.

Why does it matter?

Triggered by convincing a user to open or preview a specially crafted file, this flaw can cause the application plug-in to terminate unexpectedly and potentially leak sensitive information.

Show the technical text from the sources

A flaw was found in GIMP. An attacker can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) or potentially disclose sensitive memory contents by convincing a user to open or preview a specially crafted Bohemia Interactive (PAA) texture file. Due to an integer overflow when calculating image dimensions during file decompression, the application allocates an undersized memory buffer. Subsequent processing reads memory past the buffer boundary, terminating the plug-in process unexpectedly.
