Описание
A flaw was found in the file-fits plugin in GIMP. When processing a FITS image file, the plugin calculates memory allocation sizes using signed 32-bit integers for width and height. If a crafted file sets both values to large values, their product exceeds 2^31 and overflows, resulting in an undersized heap-based buffer allocation. This integer overflow issue results in a heap-based buffer overflow when cfitsio subsequently writes a full row of pixels in the buffer, causing memory corruption, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or a denial of service.
Отчет
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs to convince a user to process a specially crafted FITS image with GIMP, reducing the likelihood of exploitation. However, successful exploitation may potentially lead to arbitrary code execution or a denial of service. Default Red Hat Enterprise Linux security features, including SELinux enforcement, Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) and NX (No-Execute) stack protection, significantly increase the difficulty of achieving arbitrary code execution, limiting the impact of this vulnerability. Due to this reason, this flaw has been rated with an important severity.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this vulnerability, do not open FITS files from untrusted sources with GIMP.
