GIMP TIF File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of TIF files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-29398.
A flaw was found in GIMP. This heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the TIF file parsing component allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. Successful exploitation requires user interaction, where a target must open a malicious TIF file. An attacker can leverage this to execute code in the context of the current process.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as an Important severity because opening a maliciously crafted image file can lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the active user session. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux, GIMP is an interactive graphical application typically used in workstation or desktop environments, rather than an automated service or background daemon. Because exploitation requires explicit user interaction to process untrusted files, systems lacking graphical desktop environments or where users do not handle external image assets remain largely insulated from this risk.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, users should exercise caution and avoid opening TIF image files from untrusted or unknown sources. As a general security practice, only process files from trusted origins.
