4Description
A flaw was found in GIMP. Heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability exists in the fread_pascal_string function when processing a specially crafted PSD (Photoshop Document) file. This occurs because the buffer allocated for a Pascal string is not properly null-terminated, leading to an out-of-bounds read when strlen() is subsequently called. Successfully exploiting this vulnerability can cause the application to crash, resulting in an application level Denial of Service.
Analysis
GIMP's PSD file parser crashes when processing specially crafted Photoshop documents due to improper null-termination in the fread_pascal_string function, allowing local authenticated users to trigger a denial of service. The vulnerability affects GIMP across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, 8, and 9, as well as multiple Debian and Ubuntu releases tracked by their respective security teams. …
