Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-17784)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer over-read in load_image in plug-ins/common/file-gbr.c in the gbr import parser, related to mishandling of UTF-8 data. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack.
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-17785)
The vulnerability allows a local non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
In GIMP 2.8.22, there is a heap-based buffer overflow in the fli_read_brun function in plug-ins/file-fli/fli.c.
3) Heap-based buffer over-read (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-17786)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer over-read in ReadImage in plug-ins/common/file-tga.c (related to bgr2rgb.part.1). A remote attacker can supply an unexpected bits-per-pixel value for an RGBA image and perform a denial of service attack.
4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-17787)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer over-read in read_creator_block in plug-ins/common/file-psp.c. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack.
5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-17788)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to stack-based buffer over-read in xcf_load_stream in app/xcf/xcf.c when there is no '' character after the version string. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack.
6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-17789)
The vulnerability allows a local non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
In GIMP 2.8.22, there is a heap-based buffer overflow in read_channel_data in plug-ins/common/file-psp.c.
